Easy Apple Cake

Apple picking has been a tradition in our family for the last eight years, since my daughter discovered a little hidden gem called Windwood farms. It felt like we had the whole orchard to ourselves back then!

Sadly for us, it has become incredibly popular, and for good reason. Wonderful apple orchards to wander through, loads of varieties of apples, friendly staff, and great prices!

And, now also a tradition, I bake a new apple recipes when we get home! This I made this scrumptious apple cake!

What are the best apples to bake with?

Whenever I am baking with apples, I always include a few different varieties in the recipe. Some of my favourite baking apples are:

• Gala
• McIntosh
• Granny Smith
• Cortland
• Honeycrisp

I actually came across this recipe in a cookbook I found at my mom’s. She must have got it from my Nan, as it looks like it from the late 60’s from what I can tell.

It is loaded with fresh apple slices all baked into the most delicious, moist cake. Brushed with apricot jam it has the perfect amount of sweetness.

I changed it up a bit to suit my taste, as it didn’t have any spices and the proportions were not enough to fill a spring form pan.

It turned out perfectly! The apples were cooked to perfection, and the cake was moist, buttery with just a hint of cinnamon.
