Harvest Pound Cake

 I am not usually fans of Facebook ads, especially when they market something as main stream as Betty Crocker, as if that American staple needs more attention. After passing by the ad multiple times, I finally clicked on it and loved it for it's simplicity. Then I noticed two apples foundering on the counter top and I knew I would be making this. It is simple and lovely, and the caramel glaze is over the top. I highly recommend this simple and enjoyable cake.
