Harvest Apple Cake
Cuisinicity Tip: There are so many apples in this recipe that their natural sweetness reduces the need for a lot of added sugar. Also, I do not use any salt, baking soda or baking powder which, typically are added to cakes--None!-- It just doesn’t need it!
Another Cuisinicity Tip: I use whole wheat pastry flour, which is milled from soft wheat and is perfect for pastries because its lower protein content makes it lighter than regular whole wheat flour which is milled from hard red wheat. I love to use whole wheat pastry flour for my more delicate pastries because it is still rich in fiber and is much better nutritionally than white flour. You can find whole wheat pastry flour at your regular supermarket, in the health section.
