I use my Mom’s old old apple cake recipe which is similar except it has butter, not oil. It calls for 2 tsps vanilla and I always sprinkle the top of the cake with some extra cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. We’re Swedish – – we use nutmeg on and in everything!! I buy it in bulk at the health food store and grind it myself, after I smash the nutmeg “nuts” on a cutting board with a hammer. Otherwise those “nuts” are huge and do not grind well. I also grind my own allspice berries whenever I use those in cooking or baking. Ditto for cloves, star anise, cinnamon sticks – – almost anything I can buy fresh in the organic section, because spices, once ground, do not keep their flavor very long.
The cake looks good,I’ll definitely cut out the core and arrange the 1/2 slices in a pinwheel design instead. For a 9″ round cake , I suppose the recipe should be haved.
How do I save this to my recipes?
I make this same cake and they call it Apple Dapple cake….really good…I love anything apple….thx for sharing recipe…
Wow, this cake looks absolutely amazing!!! Aside from looking delicious, the decoration with the apple halves looks very creative. I’ve never seen an apple cake like this before. I’d love to try it!
The recipe actually calls for the cake to be made in a 9 x 13 pan, no apple slices on top. I figure they used the wrong photo.
