Whether you’ve just come back from the pick-your-own farm or grabbed a bag at the grocery store, make one of these apple cake recipes a new fall tradition.
Baking the first (or tenth) apple cake of the season is a much-anticipated rite of fall around here. I’ve gathered some of my favorites over the years, from cakes made for morning coffee to the ones you save for dessert. There’s nothing better than the aroma of apples and warm spices baking on a fall weekend.
Apple Cakes to Wake Up To
Granny Smith was an actual granny! Maria Ann “Granny” Smith was an Australian orchardist, and the apple began as a chance seedling on her farm in the 1860s.
Apple Cider Doughnut Loaf Cake
My apple cider doughnut loaf cake is the fall cake of your dreams. This quick and easy apple bread tastes just like a soft moist cider doughnut!
Apple Crumb Bars
Apple Crumb Bars are an all season treat filled with layers of juicy fruit sandwiched between a light cake base and a buttery crumble topping. They bake up a little bit different every time, depending on the apples you choose. These apple bars are a joy!
Dutch Apple Cake
Every bite of this Dutch Apple Cake is sweet and juicy thanks to layers of thinly sliced Honeycrisps, a no fail batter, and a touch of spice. This easy cake bakes up with a nice crisp sugary crust that makes it irresistible.
Cinnamon Apple Coffee Cake
Jump into fall baking with my cinnamon apple coffee cake recipe ~ it will fill your kitchen with the enticing aroma of cinnamon and apples.
Pretty Enough For Brunch
Honeycrisp doesn’t really crunch so much as burst. It has oversized juice-filled cells that pop open the second you bite into one.
