Brown Sugar Cinnamon Apple Cake

It’s apple season here in New England, and the family went picking last week at Butternut Farm in nearby Farmington, NH.

Butternut is a family-owned farm that works not only to support their family and customers but also our local community by donating to a food pantry and a scholarship fund.

Although they offer a tremendous variety of apples to choose from, my favorite is Macoun which is a cross between a McIntosh and a Jersey Black. It is crisp and has a good balance between tart and sweet – delicious.

I was asked to share the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Apple Cake recipe I mentioned in a previous post, so here it is for you to try.  I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine. 🙂

Apple Cake Ingredients – mix together and pour into the 9×13 greased pan

• 1-1½ cups chopped apples

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Topping – mix and sprinkle over cake
