Fall is hands down the best season for desserts. Who doesn’t love pumpkin pie, maple scones, or apple cake? Apple cake is the perfect way to celebrate fall. It’s full of delicious apples, brown sugar, spices, and it’s overall a delicious cake to have with a cup of apple cider or tea on a chilly day!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar
- 1/3 cups of neutral-tasting oil
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 2 1/2 cups of flour
- 2 1/2 cups of chopped apples
- 1/2 cup of white sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of melted butter
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, pour in the brown sugar and oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.
- Crack in the egg and mix in well.
- Add in the buttermilk as well as the vanilla extract and, again, mix well.
- Put in the baking soda and flour and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. If you mix too much, the cake will be tough.
- Fold in the apples very gently.
- Grease a 9×13 dish and pour the cake batter into it.
- Finally, mix together the white sugar, cinnamon, and butter in a small bowl and cover the top of the cake with it.
- Bake at 325 F for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
