Apple and Cinnamon Cake, a moist delicious Fall Cake, filled with apples. The perfect breakfast, dessert or snack cake. Your family is going to love this Apple Cinnamon Cake.
I love and I mean love cake, especially loaded with a creamy butter icing. Unfortunately it is not overly appreciated in my home.
My daughters are always on diets and my husband says “Noooo, too damn sweet for me” so there is no way, well I could but I won’t eat the whole cake myself!
Over the years I have found that most Italians are not big on anything overly sweet. Even the classic Italian Tiramisu is not a really sweet dessert, creamy and delicious yes, sweet not too much.
Most homemade Cakes or Breads are usually made with different fruits or even yogurt. Maybe that is why Muffins are becoming very popular.
So when a friend of mine’s mother made this Apple Cinnamon Cake I knew it would be a hit in my house too. I basically kept her recipe intact I just had to increase the cinnamon, nothing like that amazing combination of cinnamon and apples.
Apple and Cinnamon Cake
My eldest daughter went to a get together at her friend’s house on the 26th and asked if I would bake something for her to take. I suggested this delicious Apple and Cinnamon Cake that I said I had tasted recently and it was really good.
Well, I guess it was too good, because that Apple and Cinnamon Cake was not allowed to leave this house. I ended up making shortbread cookies.
When she came home I asked how they liked the cookies and she said “I have never seen anyone eat shortbread cookies like they did, one right after the other like potato chips!” Enjoy!
