Apple Nut Muffin Cake - Tuesdays with Dorie

Apple Nut Muffin Cake

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Katrina of Baking and Boys chose Apple Nut Muffin Cake on page 37 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.
Katrina, who shares a birthday with the awesome National Bundt Day, selected a winner. Dorie writes that she planned on making muffins, but threw it all into a square pan. I just love Dorie and can see this happening to many people.

I used one medium Granny Smith apple, walnuts and regular raisins. Next time, because I'm such a gingerific person, I might throw in a handful of crystallized ginger to "fall" it up. This is super easy to make and perfect for breakfast. And let's not forget the antioxidants... fruit and nuts are healthy, people! ;)

I came home from a fantastic trip to New England (more on that later), woke up and made this. I took photos with my new Samsung Charge phone before the sun came up.

Check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers and see their creations!

    That cake looks perfect! Now if I could figure out a way to steal a bite of it without you noticing it was gone! Love this cake.

    Yes, it is perfect for breakfast. Or dessert. Or a snack in between. Waiting to hear about your trip!!!

    Ah, that's right! I saw the daring bakers were doing croissants and I was eagerly awaiting a post to see if you did those. But I got it mixed up with Tuesdays with Dorie. Maybe you will still do a croissant one day though too :) This however looks very tasty. -Jessica M.
