Apple Pie Cake

I saw this dessert in a recipe book and knew I had to give it a try based on the name alone. And, it really does live up to its name. This is an apple dessert that looks like a cake, but tastes just like an apple pie, thanks to the spice mixture used. It's definitely a new favorite dessert!

8 servings

Ingredients:
8 tbsp unsalted butter

1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

2. Coat a 9 inch pie pan with cooking spray.

3. In a saucepan, melt butter.

4. In a medium bowl, blend the melted butter, sugar, and egg.

5. Mix in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla, and apples.

6. Spread into pan.

7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Enjoy!
