You've seen apple pie, cobbler, cakes, flan... but what about a apple pie custard cake?


Rich, balanced, and containing a tasteful variety of textures makes this cake salacious, and a definite way to introduce apple as a thrilling player in the dessert realm. One could possibly say it isn't the most gorgeous looking cake, which is no big deal, but is also why the sauce is very important for giving the cake that 'elevated' look.


Oh, and extra flavour too. A definite guilty pleasure, this cake is packed with deliciousness and doesn't require much in 'looks department' once it comes out the oven, making it quite hassle-free.

    I can’t eat coconut. Can it be eliminated or what is a good substitute?

    What if I don’t like coconut? What is a good substitute? I don’t like any kind of nuts in my sweets! Is there a reason they call it nut meat! If you don’t put me in your sweets!
