Healthified Fresh Apple Cake

31% fewer calories • 52% less fat • 50% more fiber than the original recipe—see the comparison We made a few changes to lower the fat and calories, while still keeping the flavor. Leaving on the apple peel doubles the fiber! From eatbetteramerica

This is one of the most appetizing cakes I have ever eaten/made. It is so easy to stir together & contains most ingredients people would have on hand. I made this cake this past Sunday & it is still fresh. I will make again, due to the fact that my Grands loved it.

I made this cake last night and it was SO good. To me it isn't really cake-like but it makes a wonderful snack. I feel good about giving this as a snack to my 8 year old, and she loves it!
