apple cake

Fruited baked treat

Apple cake is a cake featuring apples as a primary ingredient, typically incorporating sliced, diced, or grated fruit into the batter.

Styles range from dense, moist loaves to lighter layered versions, often spiced with cinnamon or nutmeg.

Unlike apple pie, the fruit is embedded throughout rather than enclosed: Grandma's apple cake was always better the next day.
