Healthy German Apple Cake

I found an extremely high rated recipe for German Apple cake on Allrecipes.com and adapted it by using applesauce instead of oil, honey instead of sugar and half wheat flour instead of all white.

I liked it, however next time I will either only use 3/4 cup of honey or 1.5 cups of brown sugar instead of the honey. I would also chop the apples smaller than I did in this one.

Other than that a tasty and moist treat that is guilt free none the less.Submitted by: SONG4THEMOON

Zucchini Bread

Much like Banana Bread. You can substitute for whole grain flour, or stevia/raw sugar, etc. This is the original recipe my mom makes. I play with it from time to time. It's really delicious and moist.Submitted by: SIDSPARK
