Potluck German Apple Cake

11:55 AM

There was a chill in the air this morning and the smell of this delicious cake baking made it feel like fall. I substituted half of the cup of oil with applesauce to make it a bit healthier. You can also use canned frosting to make the recipe even easier. So yummy!
