Baked Apple Slices with Crispy Pound Cake Crumbles

Stale Pound Cake Never Tasted So Good! I had baked a pound cake during the winter holidays and at the same time we were busy with other holiday baking and tasting, so I ended up with a wedge of pound cake that had gotten stale. I decided to pop it into the freezer and see […]
