Classic Apple Cake Recipe
Discover the perfect comfort in a classic apple cake recipe. Packed with warm spices and luscious apples, this cake promises a moist and tender treat – a delightful companion to your coffee or an ice-cold glass of milk. This cake is a one-bowl recipe where you throw in all the ingredients and it comes together beautifully. The batter is very dry before you add the apples, but trust the process and once you add the apples and mix everything together it will be a very creamy batter. The recipe calls for an 8×8 inch square pan, but you can also double the recipe and make it in a 9×13 inch pan instead.
