WOW!! I made this for our home team at church tonight & it was absolutely delightful. The cake could stand alone. It has a slight sweet & cinnamon taste. The topping really is like a yummy caramel apple. The two together is like a symphony.......

cool recipes, i stumbled across your blog while using the random blog finder.
Keep weeding out the delicious recipes, if I end up using one I'll let you know.
Good Morning.
I was just surfing blogs, and came upon yours. It looks very interesting. We live in the Pacific NW, but have most of our roots on the East Coast. Husband lived on Peachtree St in Atlanta, right next to Bobby Jones golf course, so we have a GA connection as well.
We love southern cooking, most of what I do these days is East Indian, Middle East and Mexcian, but I want to keep up with good ole southern cooking.
I pretty much stick to book reviews, and movies, as I work for the third largest library system in Washington state. Preschool storytimes are my main area of work.
See ya
Preschool
