These luscious little apple cakes say “autumn” with every bite. Made with sweetly tart apples fresh off the tree, spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a delightful cider glaze.
Why try? This is a dessert just about everyone will love and it makes a wonderful presentation.
Foodie byte: You may choose to serve it whole, or with a small wedge cut out to display a generous dollop of whipped cream cascading down the center (as shown in the photo).
