Story

I found Granny Smith apples on sale the other day! That's very unusual here, so I had to take advantage. This cake is a nice way to feature the tart flavor of the Granny Smith apple. But, what really sold me on the recipe was the crunch of the pecans and, of course, the brown sugar and butter topping. Yum!
