GRANDMA KATIE'S APPLE CAKE



Grandma Katie's Apple Cake image

My Grandma Katie used to make this cake all the time for her kids and then us - the grandkids! It is delicious! I am not a fan of walnuts so I usually leave them out or use a lesser quantity. I also like to add raisins and use almond extract (my fave) instead of vanilla extract. It is definitely an easy recipe to make and the little effort goes a long way in taste!

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For a moist and flavorful cake, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady. These apples hold their shape well and provide a nice tartness to balance the sweetness of the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use fresh vanilla beans: If you have them, use fresh vanilla beans instead of vanilla extract. This will give the cake a more intense vanilla flavor.
  • Don't overcook the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overcooking the cake will make it dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the cake warm with vanilla sauce: The vanilla sauce is the perfect complement to the apple cake. It is rich and creamy, and it adds a touch of sweetness and flavor to the cake.

Conclusion:

This grandma-style apple cake with vanilla sauce is a classic recipe that is sure to please everyone. It is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a delicious vanilla sauce. This cake is perfect for any occasion, from a simple family gathering to a special holiday dinner. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cake, give this recipe a try.
