This is an all-made-from-scratch cake however this is made with simple pantry ingredients and perfect for beginners who love homemade cakes!

The cake is moist and chuck full of apples, and the best part is it requires nothing but a spatula to mix it with. One bowl is delicious and easy to make.

We prefer to use tart-style apples, and the firmer apples do not soften. I listed a few kinds you can try or use whatever you prefer. This is a cake we grew up on in Central, New York where the neighborhood always had an overabundance of apples from the trees in their yards. We had bushels every year at the end of summer.

The cake can be made in a loaf pan, into muffins, and in a sheet pan, just the baking times will vary and need adjusting.
