Apple fritter cake and small joys

Hello, everybody! The Fresh Pioneer is back and I have a delicious apple fritter cake to share.

 First, a few pictures. We like to hike up around the city. It's a small town but we've hardly ever met other people up on the trail. It's a great (no travel) way to get out and get some exercise. Here's our dog, feeling the freedom. This day was overcast, but still warm. Now, it's only a few weeks later and I can't imagine standing up there in the frigid wind!

Those tiny dots are my kids waving for me to taking the "short way". I declined. I like my knees just the way they are, thanks. I'll leave the almost vertical descending and ascending to them, and go the long way around.

On the way, I ran into a hungry tiger! It was close, but I managed to run away with only a few nibbles and the gum missing from my pocket.

So, I didn't get any pictures of the process but I do have ONE picture... an it's got my dirty oven in it. Ah well, we're all friends here.
Rachelle McCalla posted this bit of deliciousness on facebook and the original post at The Domestic Doozie is here.  She has better pictures of the process, anyway.

I modified the recipe just a little, cutting the butter in the cinnamon topping and making the drizzle maple flavored. :) Pop on over and check it out. All I can say is YUM and "it's all gone". I really did taste like an apple fritter, too. Or an apple fritter/ maple bar cross, after my modifications.

Until next time! I hope everyone is healthy and doing well as we go into winter. Feel free to stop by my author page Mary Jane Hathaway or my blog The Things That Last.
