The apple plumcake is a simple dessert, a delicious recipe for a snack full of memories. The first apple pie I remember is Maria’s, the red apple pie, the one that meant it was a celebration when my mom made it. Maria gave her the recipe, and the unmistakable butter aroma in the house was a sign that there was apple pie in the kitchen cabinet. So, a dessert with apples cannot be missing from time to time. An apple plumcake this time: soft, moist, sugary, and buttery just right, and happy snacking to everyone!
