    Oh. My. Goodness! I made this as soon as I read this recipe today with my 3 year old son…It is DELICIOUS! I added a sprinkling of cinnamon before popping it in the oven (who can resist apple and cinnamon??). So now, my house smells amazing, our taste buds are happy, and our bellies are full! THANK YOU for such a simple and healthy cake. Will most certainly be making it again…and again…
