Apples for Jam Honey Cake

I was SO psyched to try this recipe when I FINALLY got the cookbook (SouleMama has featured it at least once)! And I had the perfect occasions to make it for: my birthday and Kya's last day of summer school class on authors. Tomorrow I signed up for the snack and the featured book/author for the day will be Herald and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson-fitting for a honey cake decorated with purple violets and sprinkles. Yum!
