Apple Cake

This winter apple cake is a moist, easy and delicious dessert. The prefect sweet and spicy cake, with large chunks of sweet apples and chopped walnuts.

You can use any variety of sweet apples you like or have on hand. In this recipe I used red delicious and gala.

Truthfully I had no plans of making an apple cake today, until I looked at my fruit bowl ….YIKES, another day or two the apples would have ended

up in the compost pile. Every time I make this I wonder why I don’t make it more often, it’s one of my favorite cakes.

The smell from the apples and  spices while the cake is baking fill your home with the most cozy, comforting aroma.

you like layer cakes you can use two 9 inch cake pans,  and make a butter, cream cheese frosting to spread between the layers.

I used a 10 to 15 cup bundt pan.  AS  much as I like layer cakes I like simple better, so most of my cakes are single layer.

Single layer cakes are less labor intense than multiple  layer cakes,

I don’t know about you, but for me I like simple, easy desserts that taste delicious, come together in less than a hour,

but has your friends thinking it took hours, this is one of those cakes. It’s  simple and so delicious you’ll

want to make it often. This cake freezes well, for a ready make dessert and keeps fresh for a day or two covered on the counter.
