There is one thing I found that I could never do in the fall, and that is try to not eat sweets! With fall comes so many delicious recipes using apples and pumpkins, two of my favorite things. I absolutely love this Apple Walnut Cake and I would definitely fall short of having any type of self control when presented with this cake.
I love that this time of year there are so many delicious apples to choose from. For eating just plain I love the honey crisp apples. They cost a little more but they are well worth it. However when making a cooked dish a little tarter tasting apple is better. Granny Smith apples work good.
What makes this Apple Walnut Cake so delicious is the butter sauce that you drizzle on top. Like I said, there is no way I could turn down a piece of this delicious cake. It is well worth it!
