*Post Edit:

This is by far the BEST yummiest recipe I've tried yet. I did not use pecans, because I'm not a nut person. I used Granny Smith apples, peeled. My cake turned out a little soggy, but totally delicious! VERY WORTH IT!

PS. I'd like to say hello to Irving, Texas. Thanks for reading my odd blog :)

I think we're the only ones ;)
