Delicious, moist cake loaded with caramel and crunchy pecan nuts
Moist and delicious, this apple cake is loaded with caramel and crunchy pecan nuts. Although it’s cooked on a Traeger wood pellet grill there is no trace of a smokey taste. It can be cooked on any BBQ which has a lid, just use good quality lumpwood charcoal or briquettes as cheap ones may not give you the clean burn you need to bake cakes.
