I absolutely love the aroma of apples and cinnamon – especially this time of the year. When it’s start cooling down outside and when there is a rainy date, baking something with apples and cinnamon just defines the description of “comfort food”. Try this recipe – it may very well become your family’s favorite!

- 2-1/2 cups of all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon

- 1-1/2 cups of packed light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs

- Invert cake onto the rack to cool completely.
