Make This Delicious Apple Loaf Cake Recipe

If you have been apple picking this fall you are probably looking for delicious apple recipes to make. Try this delicious apple loaf cake.

Have you taken your kids’ apple picking this season? A couple of weekends ago I took the kids apple picking at Raven Hill Orchard in Julian. I still have two bags of apples on the kitchen counter waiting to be used and lots of recipes that I want to make with them. 

Earlier in the week, I made this apple loaf with a delicious crumb topping.
