Apple Crumb Cake

Dear Sis,

I tried this recipe for the first time during Sukkoth, but forgot to add it to the bog until now. This cake is good for breakfast, snacking, dessert, or even a potluck, since it will make a 9×13 cake.

Apple Coffee Cake

Dear Sis,

This morning we made Apple Coffee Cake for the second time within a week, the first one, we used someone else’s recipe and it turned out way too dry, especially when it cooled! Luckily, we knew what the recipe needed to be perfect… and now it is:)

While the cake was in the oven, William scrambled his own eggs and cooked them too.

While he waited for the cake to cool, he read books in the reading tent just like the littles used to:)

Love,
