FRESH APPLE CAKE WITH BUTTER PECAN GLAZE
This cake is a variation of one I found on a bag of WHITE LILY FLOUR, but with my spin on the recipe. I made this recipe because I had 2 pounds of sliced Pink Lady apples that would have spoiled had I not used them.

APPLE BRANDY PECAN CAKE
My favorite apple cake is made with a shot of brandy and drizzled with caramel to set off the wonderful flavors. If alcohol is a no-go, use orange juice instead of apple brandy. If you'd rather go the chocolate route, add mini chocolate chips to the cake and use chocolate ice cream topping for the drizzle. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada
