Festive Apple Crumble Cake Recipe (Video)
What is it with Christmas and spice!! I just keep wanting to use cinnamon and spice in everything. This unique cake was made from a handwritten recipe card that my deceased mother in law wrote, probably 45 + years ago. It was passed over to me by my sister in law. I keep this precious card safe at all times. I must say this cake is the best apple, cinnamon and spice cake ever. The blog is coming soon so keep an eye open to get the recipe and please try to make it. You will thank me.
