Gluten-free Apple Cake

As I sit here in my office writing this post, I quickly shot a look around my computer screen and witness this cake being devoured by my colleagues, I know this is definitely one recipe I must share with you.

“The Apple of My Eye”

I was the last to leave the office on Friday evening and on my way out the door I noticed a dozen or so apples sitting on the bench looking rather sad. Apples are available all year round in Geneva although local varieties are at their best from September through to November. Thinking that these apples would be looking a wee bit more sad come Monday morning, I decided to procure these apples for the weekend and return them on Monday in the form of an Apple Cake.

Weekend Cooking Adventures

What was to be a busy weekend of entertaining and dining with friends turned into a quiet weekend at home with a sick hubby. Even with our changed plans, I decided to still make a few of my planned dishes: Pumpkin Soup and Apple Cake.

I have been inspired lately to cook with seasonal produce. I pass a local farm on my running route and for the last 2 months there has been a huge wagon of Pumpkins for sale on the road side. There are also crates full of locally grown Apples in the supermarket, along with Persimmons, Celeriac and Pears.
