Wonderful cake! Like the other reviewer I made this to serve as a coffee cake and it really worked well for that. I froze half of it for another day. I used a mixture of 2 red pears and 2 apples and the apple juice option. The cake has a wonderful cinnamon flavor. Thank you for sharing your recipe! *Reviewed for PAC Fall '07*

<p>I have 2 young kids: 6 year old and 3 1/2 year old. They keep me busy. I love to cook, though lately I cook less often and not as fancy I would like to. I love to try different recipes and often something new. Sometimes it is good, sometimes not so good. But I am learning to read recipes and estimate end result.</p>
