This recipe come from Dawn Woodward and Ed Rek of Evelyn’s Crackers!

A few words from Dawn & Ed:

We love the apple cake because it highlights the versatility and the flavor of Red Fife, a heritage wheat from Ontario. The apple cake is essentially a one bowl recipe and easy to do if you have apple butter on hand. We make apple butter every Fall from organic apples from Avalon Orchards. This cake is moist and not too sweet and perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
