Growing up on Okanese First Nation, our home was often filled with the aroma of the warm spices and sweet apples in this simple yet classic cake. Easily created with pantry staples the Cinnamon Apple cake is everything you could want in an apple pie…if the pie was a cake!
It’s wonderful to recreate something that tastes just like my Kokum used to make.
