BEST MOIST APPLE CAKE
Best apple cake we've ever eaten. I've taken three recipes and combined them to create what my family now requests for birthdays! We think the cake is better once it sits for awhile. Even refrigerated and then heated back up, the flavors seem to really stand out. You can substitute pecans for the walnuts.

Tips:
- Use the right apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices for apple cake because they hold their shape well when baked.
- Peel and core the apples: This will help to ensure that the apples are evenly cooked and that the cake has a smooth texture.
- Slice the apples thinly: This will help them to cook evenly and will also make the cake more tender.
- Toss the apples with sugar and cinnamon: This will help to add flavor to the apples and will also prevent them from browning.
- Use a combination of flours: All-purpose flour and whole wheat flour work well together in this cake. The all-purpose flour provides structure, while the whole wheat flour adds flavor and nutrients.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can toughen the cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This easy apple cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's perfect for potlucks and bake sales, and it's also a great way to use up leftover apples. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this cake is sure to become a family favorite.
