Noel's Easy Apple Cake

For today's post, I went over to www.apronfreecooking.com and snatched Noel's apple cake recipe. With bushels of apples on the porch, more in crates in the orchard, and even more apples on the trees waiting to be picked before they tumble to the ground, I am always looking for easy apple recipes to use those babies up. Noel's recipe is super easy because the base is a packaged cake mix.

Apples have an appeal that goes beyond the flavor. Apples bring to mind images of fall and family activities. Many families make a day of going to pick apples from the orchard and then spend another day making pies and applesauce.

I’m partial to my mom’s apple pie, and since I don’t come close to matching it, I don’t even try. I do however, like to try apple recipes to find new ways to use the fruit.

Easy Apple Cake

Easy Apple Cake

1 (18 oz) yellow cake mix
1 cup applesauce
1 large egg
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 apple

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, mix the applesauce, egg and cake mix with a wooden spoon until completed mixed together. In a small bowl, dice the apple and mix with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Toss the apple bits until completely coated with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Prepare two loaf pans with a light coating of cooking oil. Spread a quarter of the cake batter in each loaf pan. Sprinkle the apple and sugar mixture over the cake batter. Top the apples with the remaining cake batter – a quarter in each pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
