This recipe came from a friend when we were living in Cache Valley, UT. It is one of the reasons I look forward to this season. We are always trying to come up with a better name for it . . . maybe "the essence of fall." :) I won't say how many times we've made it so far . . .

2 eggs, beaten lightly
Mix, then add:

Oh my goodness, I'm so glad you posted this recipe! I have heard about it and have wanted to bother you for it. By the way I still make your apple crisp recipe from the cannery apple chips. It always get's compliments, so yummy. Thanks Brooke!
That sounds and looks so good! I will have to try to make it. Your looks like a masterpiece!!
holy yumtown! this will definitely have to be on my "must-dos for fall" this year!!!
We get more free apples around here than we know what to do with, so this is a great idea. Can it be made ahead, and warm the sauce when it's time to eat it?
Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoy cooking but haven't found a lot of time to do it lately. Your recipe sounds great and will give me some motivation to find some time! I know Eric will appreciate it as well since he LOVES any kind of cake and complains that I never make it. See you on Sunday!
This is what we had one year for Relief Society, right? So yummy! I'm going to have to try and make it! I finally posted the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip recipe! I hope you are still enjoying your fall weather!
MMMMM.... sounds yummy. I will have to try it. Hope things are going well with you guys. Rachel is getting so big and super cute. Let us know when you are out this way.
Brooke, I remember your apple cake with warm sauce! Delicious! I wonder if I could get it to turn out as good as it was when you made it? =) Your blog is such great fun. Your kids are so cute! --and of course we love the Navy football pics! =) So glad you guys could go cheer them to victory. Go Navy!

I am glad to hear the kids want to go skiing again- that was so much fun last year! Trevor was rocking the slopes! Poor Sav will have to dress warmer this year. We will keep you posted on the snow fall for sure. Hope all is well- can't wait to meet Rachel! Tell everyone hi! Talk to you soon!
