It is my favorite time and I am loving all the fall recipes so very much. This apple pie cake is my all-time favorite and I am pretty excited to be sharing it!
The cake batter itself is fairly simple. Vegetable oil, eggs, flour, spices, and of course apples. The batter is all mixed in one bowl and takes only a few minutes to throw together. I baked my cake in simple round mid-size pan. Nothing special! As the cake bakes, the apples melt down into the cake creating the most delicious, moist and flavorful bite.
As soon as the cake cools down, sprinkle it generously with powder sugar. Nothing is better. I really canโt describe just how good this cake tastes. You will just have to trust me here and give it a try.
And preferably this weekend, because it is already late-September and the apples are at their best. Added bonus: The smell wafting through your house as this cake bakes is better than a fall candle. SO GOOD.
If you bake this apple pie cake over the weekend, you will have Sunday morning breakfast all worked out. Because letโs be honest, this cake makes a great breakfast with a steaming cup of coffee. Or skip serving this cake as a sweet dessert with a scoop of ice cream. It is great either way you serve it up, just be sure to serve it up soon!
