When I think of summer, my mind automatically drifts to thoughts of sleeping in, laying out, swimming, grilling, BBQ’s and picnics with family and friends, and fruit. Yes, fruit. Fresh, juicy fruit. And all of the wonderful things that can be made from it.
As a kid, I can remember my mom making pineapple upside down cake during the summer, so, when I saw this recipe from Stemilt, I knew right away I had to try it. It reminds me of my mom’s cake, but is different at the same time. Cherries, apples, and delicious white cake covered in a wonderfully sweet glaze of brown sugar.
It’s fabulous and screams summer picnic.
