Our friend Bev, the winner of the August Blog Contest, included a recipe for her Fresh Apple Cake along with her winning comment and I knew just had to try it. You can use any kind of apple so I chose Granny Smith and it was moist, marvelous, and a winning recipe with my entire family. And as you can see... make it in a bundt pan, drizzle it with a simple powdered sugar glaze and it isjust as pretty as it is yummy. So here's the recipe if you want to give it a try... enjoy!
