Are you stuck for a delicious dessert idea that will please everyone?
Including your vegan family and friends, or anyone who’s simply not eating eggs or dairy?
That’s what I needed this past week, while helping my vegan daughter and son-in-law move into their new condo.
Because, let’s face it, there’s nothing quite like the smell of something yummy baking in the oven to make a new place feel like home.
I came across a great recipe on Pinterest. With some tweaking and additions, I created my own version.
We all loved it!
And if you don’t need it to be vegan, just use regular milk and butter. Same delicious results.
Either way, this is a simple one bowl cake that comes together quickly without the need for a mixer.
The hardest part about baking this cake is peeling the apples and waiting for it to bake…
Enjoy this cake plain, or fancy it up topped with a scoop of ice cream, Cool Whip or whipped cream, which by the way are all available in vegan versions and are equally delicious! (trust me they are and I am a big dairy lover!)
*the cake was inspired by this recipe:
