My oldest daughter was in the mood to bake today, so she was looking at the various apple cake recipes all of you had posted as well as a recipe she had saved for Chocolate cheese danish she saw Giada make on TV this past week. She decided to make Giada’s pastries for dessert with our dinner tonight and the Easy Apple cake for a breakfast coffee cake.
She substituted pears for the apples since we had 4 large pears we needed to use up. The easy apple cake recipe worked perfectly with the sliced pears instead of the apples and was a real big hit at our house. It was absolutely scrumptious!
Here is the link to the Chocolate Cheese danish she made today:

We tasted one of the extra danish and thought they were so chocolatey that they needed to be topped with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped cream. At they very least they need a big glass of milk with them! They are delicious too!
I guess we better be on diets for the rest of the week!
I never thought of that and I have been making that cake since mom showed me how over forty years ago! I will, though.
I should have thought of that, I have made pearple pie. (Didn't have enough pears or apples for a pie...)
I dunno, just use your own favorite apple pie recipe but decrease the sugar a little and increase the lemon juice.
