This is one of my absolute favourite recipes I have created so far. With lovely chunks of apple and the beautiful flavours of the spices in this wonderful cake you will see why we like it so much. I often take this with me whenever I am asked to bring some morning tea. There is always someone with a request for a second piece. It’s another easy one to throw together. You can use any apples but I normally have whats in season in the house. We often use a granny smith or a pink lady. Don’t be scared to use up your old overripe apples that no one wants to eat that get left in the fruit bowl. This is such a rustic cake and all you have to do is peel the apples cut them into chunks. What makes it even easier is the mix only needs to be just combined and I often don’t even use a mixer I just do it by hand its that easy.
We hope you find this as enjoyable as we do.
