APPALACHIAN STACK CAKE WITH APPLE-BOURBON SAUCE
My version of a completely traditional Appalachian stack cake was inspired by the way my ancestors would have made it many moons ago. All the ingredients are there: dried apples, a stiff dough, molasses and apple butter. My only flair is adding a bourbon sauce to drip over the edges and right into your heart. -Lauren May, Must Love Herbs
