Apple Sour Cream Squares

As Fall weather approaches, apples start to become a main feature in food. This recipe for a small cake fits the Fall season nicely as the weather turns cooler. Cakes like this one could be a good addition to a breakfast or brunch and would pair well with coffee. The blend of apple, cinnamon, and walnuts creates a good flavor combination. It might not be the fanciest cake, but it is delicious. 

Despite the cake's name, I actually used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. The recipe calls for walnuts, which was terrific. I also think hazelnuts would be delicious. This cake is best served warm. If you can't eat it shortly after it comes out of the oven, reheat it to enjoy it at its best.
