EASIEST EVER MOIST APPLE CAKE
A very moist, perfectly spiced Apple Cake! This is incredibly easy to make - no mixer required. This must be made with fresh apples, not canned. See note 5 for information about different measures in different countries & different oven types. Also, I do not recommend substituting butter for all or part of the oil - it does not come out as moist and you can't taste buttery flavour anyway because of the spice flavourings! FREEZES great!

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 type of apples: Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Honeycrisp apples are all good choices for apple cake because they hold their shape well when baked and have a tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the cake.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Apple cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and tart apples, apple cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
