APPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE!!
This was my room mates favorite by far. Its not a dessert sweet loaf but it has mild hues of warm slight sweetness. There is a caramelized apple layer that pleasantly surprises you. Its dense and perfect literally for a snack or breakfast or dessert. It's so delicious when warm with butter on top. Remember to buy all your ingredients bulk or at the farmers market, or at your local co-op!
Bring your treats in a glass tupperware for a picnic to share! I brought a couple forks too. <3
