Blueberry Buckle

Yesterday was one of THOSE days. My watch died and then my daughter dropped the camera and broke it.  Needless to say I am need a new one and fast!! I began my search at Overstock.com. I was amazed at all the digital cameras they carry and the prices are great!!  There are so many great options I still have not made up my mind yet and I am waiting to get hubby's approval.  Enough of my dilema, on to more important items: this great recipe!!
I had never even heard of this before until a friend invited me over for breakfast and made this for me.  It is so delicious and a little different twist on the normal breakfast cake that I just had to make it for my family. It also gave me a chance to use the blueberries my kids and I picked (now that was fun!)  I switched out half of the butter for applesauce, hoping to save a few calories an add some moisture.
