Simply Scrumptious Apple Cake

Let's enjoy a very easy cake today with a cup of Constant Comment Tea. 

My table is covered with some doilies from my collection that I started in my 20's.  The tiny teapot filled with baby's breath, was one that my beloved mom gave me, and the napkin is from my Great Late Aunt Kitty's collection.  My little waterfall was out of commission for a week and I sure did miss the relaxing, soothing sound.   

Easing into Fall, my Johnson Bros Harvest Time teacup adds such a pretty vintage charm.

This cake was one of the easiest cakes ever!

Simply Scrumptious Apple Cake

My son Mike gave me this cookbook that this recipe is from, and talk about an easy cake!!

Ingredients

• 1 package Angel Food cake mix (use a one-step angel food that requires only water). You do NOT add the water however.
• 1 can apple pie filling, regular of no-sugar added (I used kitchen shears to cut up the apples inside the can into smaller pieces)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Combine DRY cake mix (remember, do not add the water), apple pie filling and cinnamon in a large bowl. Batter thickens up during mixing; do not overmix. Spread batter in the prepared pan; sprinkle with brown sugar and walnuts.
3. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. Cool 20-30 minutes.
4. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce, or whipped cream, if desired.

Have you tried these Murasaki Sweet Potatoes from Trader Joe's?  I heard about them and every time I went they were not in, except for this last time.  They are really good!  They are purple with white center and sweet.

Since I'm into quick and easy, I sauteed some blackened shrimp to serve with the sweet potatoes.
