Here is an incredibly easy recipe for you to make a moist, juicy, flavorful apple cake with fresh apples. My secret? I am using my waffle batter recipe.
You will simply need three apples ( I like to use Granny Smith), flour, sugar, milk, 2 eggs, a bit of vegetable oil, and cinnamon for a beautiful earthy flavor.
Apples are one of my favorite fruits to cook with besides plums and bananas. I love the freshness and slight tartness in an apple cake.

It only takes only 5 minutes to put the cake batter together, another 5 minutes to peel and roughly chop the apples, and a few more minutes to caramelize them in a frying pan.
I do like to add cinnamon to the apples for a more earthy flavor. If you don’t like cinnamon, simply leave it out.
Serve this delicious apple cake made with fresh apples with ice cream and whipped cream for a decadent quick dessert.
Here is a quick note: For this apple cake recipe it is best to use a springform pan with removable bottom.
You can find them on Amazon. Here is a good quality one.
The springform pan I have been using has been in my family for a few generations now. It is not a nonstick pan so I do have to prepare the pan with parchment paper.
It is important to preheat the oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit/180 Degrees Celcius fanbake. So I recommend, to put on the oven before you start preparing the apples.
