APPLE SPICE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE



Apple Spice Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze image

This is a very simple and quick apple cake that I make time and time again. Great on it's own - even better with a little dollop of freshly whipped cream. Make sure you let the glaze thicken well and SLOWLY pour the glaze onto the cake, giving it time to soak in.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples are all good choices for this recipe. They hold their shape well when baked and have a tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the brown sugar glaze.
  • Peel and slice the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a mandoline slicer to get uniform slices.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help it rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it: This will help the glaze set properly.

This easy apple cake recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. The combination of tart apples, sweet glaze, and fluffy cake is irresistible. Serve it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. You can also make it ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
