Apples are usually in our fruit bowl on the table or stored in our root cellar. Depending upon the season and what else we are enjoying, they will be eaten quickly or they will remain behind to mellow and soften. Softening into a juicy sweetness that begs to be used. Often in a sauce, or chopped for a salad but my favorite is this cake.
Fortunately, the kitchen in our new home in Montana comes with a very reliable oven. Which I am grateful for, as baking is something I do regularly. Usually whole wheat bread, but also smaller cakes like this Easy One-Bowl Apple Cake.
You may add one or two of the optional ingredients to change up your cake from time to time. We enjoy raisins, chopped walnut, and chopped dates. But be warned that dates will sink to the bottom of the pan creating a sticky layer. While it is delicious, the cake squares don't come out of the pan without a little insistence on your part!

ReplyDeleteThank you, I love creating healthy food. And of course a health dessert is just that much, more fun!
DeleteYum!! This looks good!
ReplyDeleteAnd the best part is how easy it is to make!
DeleteI love apple cake -- it says fall to me!
ReplyDeleteApple cake was a favorite of my Mom's, we ate it year round as a kid. But I agree apple desserts are always a good choice late winter when other fruit is not yet available and yes in the fall for the new crop.
DeleteI love apple cake! And whole wheat flour, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you give this one a try!
DeleteI like the easy one bowl part. My cabin came with an old propane range that came from a trailer in town. The burners worked fine, but the oven was hard to control. It was either too hot or too cool. When we remodeled the cabin eight years ago we upgraded both the range and fridge. It's made a huge change in my ability to cook and store food. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI love the cabin oven info, when I was developing this recipe, I made it in my RV propane oven! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWow this looks delicious and I love that it's only one bowl. I feel like all I do is dishes and clean up the kitchen lately!
ReplyDelete(so sorry I missed this comment earlier) I remember those days of cooking, washing up, cooking, washing up! Since I am a sink dish washer, I try to be conservative on the amount of prep dishes also.
DeleteWe are doing a lot more baking at our house these days. With a cool weekend coming up, I think I'll give this recipe a try!
ReplyDeleteIt was a hit around here! I hope you and yours enjoy it as well, thanks for stopping by.
DeleteLove the look of this recipe! There's just something so comforting about apples, isn't there? Think this would lovely with a touch of cinnamon too :)
