Fall is officially one week away and I'm already experimenting with seasonal baking. I rediscovered the pages inside of my An Apple A Day cookbook 
I love a classic, homemade chocolate brownie, but this time of year gets me excited for baked apple treats and orchard visits. While there's no chocolate in this recipe and they didn't quite turn out like brownies, this recipe made a moist, apple filled snack cake. I seriously can't get enough of this stuff!
I recently bought a few delicious Granny Smiths from Whole Foods. They were honestly the best apples I've had in a long time and I can't wait to go back for more. They were huge, crisp, juicy, and had such a great flavor. I really wish I bought more than the four I took home! I think the trick to an awesome apple cake is getting really fresh, really flavorful apples. Those Granny Smiths definitely made the cake!
