Grandpa Frank's Easy Apple Cake

Grandpa Frank's Easy Apple Cake

Tags:

This recipe comes from LeRoux Crew member Eva’s grandfather, Frank. Family lore is that he loved to make this cake for his poker buddies. It mixes up quickly in just one bowl with a fork and is the perfect dessert for those first chilly evenings of fall. It’s superb served warm with a scoop of ice cream or dollop of whipped cream.
