Apple Pie

Apple Pie

Warm apple pie with custard…YUMMY!! This is one of my favourite cakes and it is SO easy to do. I just love the granola-ish topping with rolled oats, sunflower seeds and almonds. I usually prepare the whole cake in advance and then bake it just before serving it. That makes this cake perfect when you are having guests. If it’s up to me I serve the cake with custard, but my kids and husband always ask for vanilla ice cream to go with it. What will your choice be?
