Categories     Breads

Time 35m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
4 eggs

  • Pour into a well greased and floured tube or bundt cake pan.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until knife inserted into center of cake comes out clean.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh apples. If you only have access to store-bought apples, choose a variety that is crisp and tart, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
  • Be sure to peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the apples by hand. Just be sure to use a fine grater so that the apples are evenly shredded.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take around 35 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
