Easy Cinnamon Sugar Apple Cake  – a soft cake filled with juicy apples, topped with cinnamon and sugar.  This is a real fall treat. I find fall truly inspiring, something like a break between summer and winter and the upcoming holidays.

    You should not use wax paper in oven as it can catch fire, use parchment instead.
