SUPER MOIST FRESH APPLE CAKE
This is one of those cakes that, well, the longer it sets, the better it gets. Oh, don't get me wrong, it is just as delicious warm and fresh out of the oven. The added bonus to this lovely cake is that instead of drying out, it gets more moist as the days pass on, if it lasts that long...

EASIEST EVER MOIST APPLE CAKE
A very moist, perfectly spiced Apple Cake! This is incredibly easy to make - no mixer required. This must be made with fresh apples, not canned. See note 5 for information about different measures in different countries & different oven types. Also, I do not recommend substituting butter for all or part of the oil - it does not come out as moist and you can't taste buttery flavour anyway because of the spice flavourings! FREEZES great!

BEST MOIST APPLE CAKE
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.

Tips:

- Peel and core the apples: You can use a potato peeler or a paring knife to peel the apples. To core the apples, use an apple corer or a sharp knife to cut around the core and remove it.
- Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly in the cake. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the apples.
- Toss the apples with lemon juice: This will help prevent the apples from browning.
- Use a combination of sugars: Using a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar will give your cake a delicious flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at a moderate temperature: This will help prevent the cake from drying out.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
