Apple Cake

     Most people would say the best time for Apples is Fall, but what do "they" know...I think the best time is anytime you can get your hands on a Fuji.  This simple Apple Cake whips together in a breeze, and is so filled with beauty (...and Apples).  Each of the six pieces are only 217 calories, 24g carbs, 2.8g fiber, 16g sugar alcohol, 5.2g net carbs, 5.3g protein and  18.2g fat, macros do not include topping.  So the next time you are in the mood to impress all your friends with your creativity, give this a try regardless the season.  :)
