This is an easy-to-make Apple Cinnamon Cake recipe. It produces a moist cake with an apple cinnamon filling and is topped with a sweet drizzle.
A simple recipe that is quick and easy to put together and is perfect for dessert or a snack. The apple filling adds crunch to the cake, giving it an additional layer of texture.
Serving Apple Cinnamon Cake
We enjoy this cake served warm. But it can also be served at room temperature.
It is great with a scoop of ice cream on top. We like to top the ice cream with a caramel sauce to make it more decadent.
How To Store Leftover Cake
Once cooled, cover the cake and store it at room temperature for up to three days.
To warm the cake before serving, place it in the microwave for 20 seconds.
What Kind Of Apples Work Best?
We make this cake with Honeycrisp apples because of their sweetness, and they hold up well for baking.
Granny Smith and Cortland apples are also good choices.
Avoid softer apples like McIntosh. These break down when baked and become mushy.

Additions For The Cake
If you’d like to add a little crunch to the cake, consider adding nuts to the top of the cake or to the apple filling. Walnuts, almonds and pecans work well and complement the flavours of the cake.
Add a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze if you prefer a strong cinnamon flavour.
Equipment For Making This Recipe
To make this recipe, you will need an 8-inch square cake pan to bake the cake in.
This recipe is easier to make with an apple peeler and apple slicer, but a knife can also be used to peel and chop the apples.
