When I saw these apples this morning I knew I needed to use them up before they spoiled...
So...how about some apple cake? Yummm
When my cake was ready to go in the oven...I started to think about how I like apples and use them to decorate my house. Come take a look...
They are scattered around...here and there...
Maybe you can find a recipe to use some apples in today too!
Here is my finished cake...It looked & smelled so good I had to have a piece before I even took the picture...Wish I could share it with you...
The cake looks very yummy and your living room looks very comfortable.
ReplyDeleteYour house looks so lovely, I do love the apples that are placed here and there, and yes I would love a nice big piece of that apple cake with a cup of coffee.

Ooh, the cake looks yummy! My favorite thing to make with apples is a Tarte Tatin. With some vanilla ice cream. I could probably eat half of it in one sitting. I LOVE all the apple-related items you have throughout your home!
ReplyDeleteOh, that apple cake looks delish! I'll betit smelled as good as you said! I wish that the computer had scratch-n-sniff or smell-o-vision! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI too very much like the apple theme in your decor - apples seem a very reassuring and comforting thing really. I've been making this French apple cake recipe lately. It include almond powder for extra moistness and taste. And I have to agree with Mariana, Tarte Tatin is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie,
ReplyDeleteI hope your planning on sharing that recipe! Your house looks so cute and cozy! Thanks for sharing pictures. I know I need to do the same!
Smiles, Nancy
I love apples too! Fresh apple cake, apple dumplings, apple pie...you name it! Your house looks like a perfect place to curl up and visit with a hot cup of coffee...

ReplyDeleteHi, Carrrie,
ReplyDeleteI love your patio ~it looks like you have another room. Also love the baskets with apples painted on them. They are just so cute.
Hello doll, I wish you could share the cake with us too.
ReplyDeleteHow about coughing up the recipe.
My big question is how the heck is your house so spotless with five children.
I have only my son and husband at home now and the house is a pigsty.
Love Renee xoxo
What a darling home you have. Your apples look cute scattered about. :o) I have enjoyed visiting your blog this morning. Please visit mine anytime. :o)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
