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.

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!

      Hi, I made this Cake recently and it was amazing. The only thing was that there was a slight bitter after taste. Could this be from the cinnamon? Or maybe vanilla essence? I can’t figure it out.

        Hi Jasmine, I really don’t know I haven’t noticed that before. I guess it could be either.

        Hi Kirti, I think it could be that your oven temperature is off, if the oven is fine, then around the halfway mark check the apples and if they are browning too much cover the cake with foil (just place it on top like a tent) and continue with the baking. Hope that helps.

        Hi Narseen I have never used yogurt instead of milk, I would say no because yogurt is thicker than milk.

        Hi Camelia, yes you can but you will have to reduce the baking powder by 1 teaspoon and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. 🙂

        Hi Breanna, you add the lemon just to keep the apple from turning brown, but it should be ok. 🙂

      The cake taste delicious, however my cake part was dense and a little too dry. Can you make any suggestions. I would like to try it again because the flavor was very good.

        Hi Jean, maybe you should bake it a little less, sometimes over baking makes a cake dry. Hope that helps.

      My professor at school asked us to all bring in a dish for a celebration we were having. I’ve never baked anything that didn’t come out of a box, but decided to give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised. It turned out just like the picture. My professor ate half the cake and kept telling me how great it was. Thanks so much for the recipe!

        Hi Chrissy, I am so happy you chose my recipe to make and you had fun making it, so glad your Professor enjoyed it. You can’t a better combination than cinnamon and apples, well maybe chocolate and peanut butter. 😉 Have a great weekend.
