Looking Forward to Fall

This hot NC weather needs to go!  So today I made apple nut cake to welcome in the start of Fall, even though we have 3 more weeks of summer.  I changed the recipe which I never do when it's one handed down but I was low on eggs and wanted to cut out some of the fat and sugar.

Enjoy :)
