Moist and Delicious Roman Apple Cake – A Family Favorite
ROMAN APPLE CAKE RECIPE
Nothing fancy, but we scrape the crumbs from the pan every time. You can tell my poor old recipe is well-loved by the stains. I bake about 25 minutes in my oven, which differs from the recipe. This is a great way to use apples that have begun to shrivel. Makes a delicious, moist cake. Great as a coffee cake for breakfast, too!
