Description

This easy apple cake recipe is perfect for fall. It’s simple, moist, and full of cinnamon flavor. You can make it in one bowl for a quick and delicious dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
