It is officially Apple Season and locally grown apples have made it to my grocery store shelves. The taste sooooo much better than those shipped from afar. I drive past a local apple farm when I take Ella out to preschool, but so far, I've never made the stop. One of these days I'll do it....
Anyway, yesterday Jessica at Life as Mom had her weekly recipe swap (a Thursday feature). The theme was Apple Recipes. Yeah, I'm a little late to the game, but I thought I'd go ahead and post an apple recipe from my childhood. I remember making this with my mom...and boy, did we love it! I made it a couple of months ago on a Saturday morning and it was as good as I remembered it.
Johnny Appleseed Cake
Ingredients:
1/2 cup melted butter or oil
1 3/4 cup applesauce
2 cups flour

I was going to post this one, but I can't find the box of cookbooks. Glad you put it up. Recipe Swap is open until Tuesday!
