Fall NachosBecause nachos should be eaten at any time of the year... Acai BowlsHow I'm bringing a bit of Brazil into my kitchen. There are some things that just bring me back to being a kid, and this Easy Cinnamon Apple Cake recipe is certainly one of them!My Omi (that’s German for Grandma) used to make Cinnamon Apple Cake for my mom when she was a kid. My mom then turned around and made it for me and my sister when we were growing up! It’s pretty much one of the easiest cake recipes I know, as it comes together quickly in one bowl. Apple cake makes for an excellent dessert or even a sweet breakfast if you are a sweets in the morning type of person. I know I am! I could eat cakes for breakfast just about every day, and all would be right in the world!! Whip this one up this weekend with all those beautiful apples from the market. Ingredients you need and substitutions:
Best apples to use:When it comes to baking with apples, the rule of thumb is to use firm varieties since they’ll hold up better while baking. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples to balance the tart and sweet flavors but feel free to use any other firm apples you have on hand. The key is to slice them into about 1/4 inch thick slices, so you get a little bit of apple in every bite. How to make apple cake?Start by peeling and coring about four apples. Slice them into about 1/4 inch thick slices and place them into a large bowl. Pour the sugar over the apples and give them a quick toss with your hands and then add the lemon juice. Let the apples and the sugar sit and macerate for about 30-45 minutes. This process will soften the apples and dissolve the sugar. Then, add the oil, eggs, and vanilla to the apple mixture and stir together with a spoon. Next, add the dry ingredients to the apple mixture. Combine with a spoon carefully until the dry mixture is just incorporated. How long to bake apple cake?Bake the apple cake in a 350 degree oven for 45-55 minutes, depending on the cake pan size. 9×9 Cake Pan: 50-55 minutes 9×13 Cake Pan: 45-50 minutes What size pan should I use to bake apple cake?You can bake this apple cake in a 9×9 inch baking pan, which yields 9 servings, or you can bake it in a 9×13 inch pan, which yields 12 slices of cake. Keep in mind the larger your pan is, the shorter your cake will be. What you’ll need:Looking for more amazing breakfast ideas?
