Apple Hazelnut Cake
Fall season have started and with it came apples!!
We've all heard about the apple crisis we are currently facing in Lebanon especially for the apple farmers' families..
Personally I don't see it as a huge threat cause each one of us can easily help out!! How? By cooking and baking with apples!!
So, for my part, I decided to share with you my Apple & Hazelnut Cake.
This cake is one of those thing's you can whip up really quickly and with ingredients you might already have in your pantry. Sweetened with nuts and apples it's completely refined-sugar-free, yet resulting in a rich moistness. And don't forget about the lovely baking aroma that will keep lingering in your house all day long!
