French SugarBee® Apple Cake

Have you accidentally created something perfect before? This French apple cake is just that for recipe blogger Pate Giltner. When baking a cake for a gathering, she realized she had forgotten to buy milk and didn’t have any dairy on hand. With no time to run to the store, she improvised this riff on a French cake that requires no milk and used the fruit and ingredients she had at home. It turned out splendidly, and after even more testing and perfecting, this final recipe came to life!
