A simple spice cake laden with fresh apples, this dessert can be made in no time. If guava jam is not easily found in your area, feel free[ to substitute plum, cherry or any preserves you have on hand. It's also a terrific brunch cake that begs for a great cup of coffee.] Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour |
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoon baking soda |
2 eggs |
1 cup vegetable oil |

4 cups granny smith apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped (about 4 to 6 apples) |
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped |
1/4 cup guava jam |
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice |
5 ounces cream cheese, room temperature |
