APPLE SPICE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE



Apple Spice Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze image

This is a very simple and quick apple cake that I make time and time again. Great on it's own - even better with a little dollop of freshly whipped cream. Make sure you let the glaze thicken well and SLOWLY pour the glaze onto the cake, giving it time to soak in.
