Best Moist Apple Cake image

Best apple cake we've ever eaten. I've taken three recipes and combined them to create what my family now requests for birthdays! We think the cake is better once it sits for awhile. Even refrigerated and then heated back up, the flavors seem to really stand out. You can substitute pecans for the walnuts.

This cake was a disaster. It was dry and crumbly, and it didn't have much flavor.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This apple cake is the perfect fall dessert. It's warm, comforting, and delicious. I love serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I've made this apple cake countless times, and it never fails to impress. My family and friends rave about it, and it's always the first dessert to disappear at gatherings.

This apple cake was a delight! The texture was incredibly moist and fluffy, and the flavor was bursting with apple-y goodness. I used Granny Smith apples, and they added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the cake perfectly.
