Spicy Apple Cake
Loved this cake (and don't omit the frosting!). I mistakenly peeled too many apples, so I actually had 4 cups of chopped fruit. I baked in the 9x9 inch pan, but the additional fruit required me to bake this almost 60 minutes before the toothpick came out clean. Next time, I'll still double the fruit, but I'll bake in a 9 x 13 pan. DELISH!

Peach Cobbler II
At first I thought the pouring of water was strange...but this Northerner has found a new favorite cobbler recipe. I thought the amount of sugar was perfect, but I did buy my peaches at the grocery store, and they may not have been naturally sweet. I did have to cook a bit longer (15-20 minutes)...judge by the browning, not by the clock. I can't wait to try this with blueberries.
