shipshewana apple festival cake with fruits & nuts
(2 ratings)
Here is another recipe I got while attending a local apple festival several years ago. Its really delicious and not hard to make. Every bite is filled with apples, walnuts, coconut, cherries, and dates but its not a Christmas "fruitcake" at all. Its really an apple cake on steroids! :) This is a tender cake so be gentle when cutting and serving. The original recipe called for it to be served with no icing but I like to sprinkle powdered sugar on top. That's optional. Toasting the walnuts and chopping the apples, cherries, and dates takes a few minutes but, the result is yumm....
