Eckert's Farm

Apple Cake

Eckert Farm is where you can pick-your-own seasonal fruit and vegetables, from May through October. The Eckert family has been growing apples for more than 100
years in Illinois.

It was suggested we go to Eckerts to pick apples and stop off at other cakes in the area. We got to Eckerts a little late in our schedule and shopped in the market
instead. There was plenty of free samples to entice us to buy the foods. I had to buy Colin a caramel apple to help his two, loose front teeth come out. But it didn't help.  We also bought apples.

We already planned on going to IHOP for the Pumpkin Pancakes for dinner. We were looking around for an apple recipe that we could bake to have for dessert. One  of my friends on Facebook always shares yummy looking recipes and there was one for Apple Cake. We served it with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and whipped  topping.
