I recently saw this recipe and I hesitated to post it on the Blog.  It was shared by Linda H, a high school friend in Michigan. Thank you Linda for sharing this with me. It's an adaptation of the original. One of my favorite Apple recipes is (Apple Pie....without a crust!) It's on the Blog. It's easy, quick and delicious. I often make it for Breakfast. I have so many recipes for Apple Cake. I'm not sure you can have enough!
