Easy Apple Cake

The sun may still be shining, but anytime this cake is made, it makes me feel like I should be bundled up under a blanket by the fire! As it’s baking in the oven, it fills my kitchen with some of my favourite scents, which symbolize the upcoming fall season. This cake is moist and delicious, with a hint of spice, and it’s versatile, too. Serve it for dessert, with tea, or as a coffee cake for breakfast. Whichever way you choose, our Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apples are perfect for this recipe.
