Cinnamon Sugar Apple Cake Recipe

October 12, 2018

Ever since we went apple picking, we’ve been trying to use up all of our apples as fast as possible. These things don’t have a good reputation for staying fresh for all that long. The problem is, there’s only so much to do with apples. We’ve already made applesauce and we eat two apples every night in our salads. The only thing I can think of now is to prepare some apple cakes. Unfortunately, apple cakes don’t require that many apples. Two, maybe three at the most. But whatever. I really like apple cakes, so that’s what I’m going to do. I’ll just keep on free-eating apples to get rid of them if I have to.

The Recipe

I have already shared the most ultimate apple cake recipe on this website. I’m not sure it’s going to get any better than that one. That was was so moist it wasn’t even funny. The recipe I’d like to share today is good too and it’s got a sweet crunchy top, which I enjoyed immensely. The cake part of this version was exceptional, but not as exceptional at the bundt cake I shared. That other recipe called for more eggs and more apples. And more sugar. More everything I guess, which made it out of this world. Today’s recipe is much more modest, but it’s not as bad for you, if that’s an important element. It’s not good for you either, but then again, it is a cake.

The crunchy top is the best. It’s made out of white sugar, cinnamon and butter. What’s so nice about it is that the butter flavor really comes out after the cake is baked. And nothing beats a crunchy sugar topping. Let’s be real.

About Jay Gaulard

My name is Jay Gaulard and I'm what I like to call an "inexperienced chef," if that's not an oxymoron. I initially decided to immerse myself into the world of food and cooking in May of 2015, when I began growing, in earnest, my first garden. The garden produced a wonderful yield and with some newfound confidence, my hobby of learning about what I eat took shape. Currently, I'm enrolled in an online cooking school and am quite active with the culinary community. I primarily write posts about what I research and learn along the way.
