German Apple Cake
"This is a moist and delicious cake, and very easy to make. Our church used to have an international dinner every January, and I took this one year. It was a big hit! I've made it several times since. Recipe is from The Best of Mennonite Fellowship Meals."

This was very moist and delicious. I used 2 granny smith's apples. It was about a little more than 2 cups. I also used light brown sugar. A very tasty recipe. Thank you for sharing. I made this for the Cake-a-Thon in memory of Chef-I-Am. -
This was so easy to make. Wonderful aroma in the kitchen, makes your mouth water. Super texture, good flavour. My wife says ' that's the best recipe, you have tried for apple cake'. Cant be bad. Thanks for the recipe.

Macedon, NY
I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in.
In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
