Apple Spice Cake

Posted on January 29, 2020 by Fill Your Plate

Apple Spice cake is a quick and easy dessert perfect for any occasion. This recipe is easily made to be dairy-free by subbing out the butter for a plant-based option and the milk from another milk substitute.  My sister has a dairy allergy, so this is one of the deserts that are easily made to fit her dietary restrictions.
