Apple Crumb Cakes
I love making goodies to share with the hubs over coffee on the weekends. On the weekends he comes home I usually spend Friday making some sort of yumminess for us to have while we catch up on the goings-on of the week. There is usually so much to cram in to the short time we have together that we don’t want to spend half the day preparing a big breakfast. So something as quick as a little apple crumb cake is just enough to get us going for the day. In this house full of cinnamon & apple lovers, these never last long. The kids are always clamoring to get in on some of these.
I try to keep a lot of my baking seasonal, meaning that I don’t do summer flavors in January sort of thing. But while these are really a fall type recipe, they are made year round in this house. There are too many in our family that can’t get enough of that great cinnamon & apple goodness to make them wait for only one time of year. So fortunately I can get apples year round. I just can’t get the locally grown ones year round. But the ones in our stores do come from Washington- so it’s almost like we are getting them local. It’s just not 10 minutes away local – more like 30 minutes instead. Which really isn’t bad at all. Keeps everyone happy here.
