Gluten Free Chai Spiced Apple Cake with Vanilla Nutmeg Glaze

 A Delicious Dessert That's Spicy and Warm Tasting


Now that Autumn is just around the corner and the nights are getting a bit cooler it's time to change up our desserts a little.  On a recent trip to the local orchard I walked in and smelled the Apple Cider Doughnuts cooking, I could not wait to get baking a different dessert from what I have been doing all summer. I knew I had a package of Wholesome Chow Gluten Free Chai Spice Cake Mix in the pantry so I started from there.  I bought some apples from Rogers Orchards in Southington CT, which is five minutes from my house and added them to the cake batter and was pleasantly surprised how great it smelled when baking.
To put it over the top I made a package of gluten free glaze mix and added fresh ground nutmeg.  What a combination! 
It was super easy since the basics were from pre-packaged mixes but the results were as good as any made from scratch cake and so much cheaper than any cake I can buy in the specialty stores that sell gluten free products.
