How to Make Easy Apple Cake Video

Our Easy Apple Cake is lightly spiced and sweet as apple pie without actually being apple pie. In addition to being a cozy, satisfying fall dessert, this apple cake can also double as a coffee cake for breakfast or brunch. When a recipe calls for baking apples like this one, that means something slightly tart that is going to hold its shape while cooking. Granny Smith, Cortland, Rome Beauty, Northern Spy or Braeburn apples all fit the bill. This recipe calls to shred the apples but you could also chop them into small bits if you don’t have a grater or if you simply prefer the texture of chopped apples. Serve this Easy Apple Cake warm à la mode (butter pecan ice cream, anyone?) or let it cool fully and dust it with powdered sugar. For something extra fancy, top each slice with homemade whipped cream or drizzle the cake with salted caramel topping when serving. Considering how easy and quickly this cake comes together, you might have time to bake another apple treat! If you’re on a roll, try this Pinwheel Apple Cobbler or this Apple Crisp!
