I have lost my old recipe for this which was wonderful and heavy on the cinnamon (from the winery restaurant where I worked while in college). Of course I've googled and found bazillions of them, just wondered if someone had an old cherished T&T recipe? Going to make this later this afternoon for a Saturday birthday party.

TIA!

 
You know, I may have...

And every time someone explains to me how to search the old Gail's recipe database, for the life of me, next time I try, I cannot. Does it change?

 
Oh no, it's not you, Epi wrecked the swap at the end. But we shall persevere. I'm still looking,

it may take a while. smileys/wink.gif

 
Here's an Apple Crunch Cake you posted at the old swap
