CakeSpy Note: OMG! The 46th Annual Pillsbury Bake-Off is coming! Since I so deeply loved attending the 45th Bake-Off, I thought I would get you excited early by sharing some of the finalists' recipes. Do I need to tell you that the winner will receive one million dollars? My posting is on hyperdrive since the event is less than a week a day--check back often, because I will be posting recipes like crazy until the big event!
Listen. It's got apples, so it's healthy for breakfast. NO FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS ALLOWED. I like the way Debbie Rowe of Lexington, Kentucky thinks--apple pie in the AM!
