FYI, Where & Why
- Pure Maple Cream- This stuff is amazing. If you like maple syrup, then this is the stuff for you. It’s creamy and sweet without being too sweet. It’s the texture that just about kills me though. It’s so creamy! I love it. You can order it from Severance’s Maple Products 413-498-2032 (they don’t have a website, you have to call).
- Thank you AndreAnna From www.LifeAsAPlate.com and Elana Amsterdam fromwww.elanaspantry.com!!!!!!! You ladies rock my world.
- I’m making this cake for Thanksgiving. I’m already pretty excited about eating it, and it’s only Tuesday.
Good luck!

I’m just curious…could you make this, somehow, without a food processor? Thanks!
I think you can, it’ll just be harder. The almond butter is thick, but if you work it, you could do it.
Oh, I just thought of the apples–don’t they need to be ground up in the food processor?
I haven’t done this myself, so I don’t know for absolute sure that the effect will be the same, but I would grate the apple with a cheese grater. I think that should work.
