Moist Apple Cake

By: Lisa Miller

"This appetizing apple cinnamon cake, draped with a warm brown sugar sauce, is a crowd-pleaser at parties or at the office, confirms Lisa Miller from West Chester, Ohio. 'I adapted a friend's recipe by decreasing the oil and substituting applesauce,' she notes. 'I also switched to fat-free milk...but no one will ever guess this treat is light.'"
