Tart Apple Cake


Making Gail Tart Apple Pie

For some reason Wednesday's Food is Art class is unusually small, but that is okay. My most seasoned SproutChefs are in this class, which is perfect for turning this week's session into a test kitchen. I am going to allow the SproutChefs to bake an apple cake in class with the following recipe, all the ingredients and equipment they need. I will be there to keep disaster from happening, but I want to see how well they have learned from the SproutChef's program. I expect complete success and I can hardly wait.
