Will one of you ladies who has MJ's Ideabook either post or e-mail me the recipe for Crackly Pear Cake?
I have the book, but it's in storage.
Thanks!
Faith

Thanks, Mumof3!
I made this for my husband last September and he LOVED it.
Apples would probably work just fine. I'd try granny smith, empire, jonagold, or cortland apples for baking. (based on the recommendation of an apple cake recipe I have)
I'd love to hear how it turns out if you try!
