GRANDMA'S FRESH APPLE CAKE
Moist cinnamon cake enfolding sliced fresh apples makes a delicious dessert or wholesome snack cake. This recipe came from my mother, Ann. I have cut the sugar down to 1 cup, as most modern apples are sweet enough to not need the original 2 cups called for. I like to replace 1 cup of all purpose flour with 1 cup whole wheat flour.

UNCLE BOB'S FRESH APPLE CAKE - PAULA DEEN
Wow, is this ever good! This cake needs at least an hour to rest before serving, it's even better the next day, so plan ahead. I do like the glaze, but the cake is great on it's own as well. I have used pecans instead of walnuts with good results. I also sprinkle some lemon juice on the diced apples so they don't brown. Check the cake at 1 hour, mine is done at 75 minutes. Without the glaze, this cake freezes well. Adapted from Food Network, Paula Deen. She rocks!!

Tips:
- Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for apple cake. Choose a variety that is firm and tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Peel and core the apples: Peeling and coring the apples will help to ensure that the cake has a smooth texture. You can use a paring knife or an apple corer to remove the peel and core.
- Toss the apples with lemon juice: Tossing the apples with lemon juice will help to prevent them from browning. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apples for extra flavor.
- Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan is a great option for baking apple cake. The fluted sides of the pan will help to create a beautiful cake with a moist and tender crumb.
- Bake the cake at a moderate temperature: Baking the cake at a moderate temperature will help to prevent the cake from drying out. The ideal temperature for baking apple cake is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Test the cake for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake for a few minutes longer.
Conclusion:
Apple cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its moist and tender crumb, sweet and tart flavor, and beautiful presentation, apple cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
