Cinnamon Sugar Apple Cake
A naturally sweetened, kid-friendly apple cake that's soft, moist, and bursting with cinnamon sugar flavor. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert!
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- 9-inch round or square baking pan
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
- ½ cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or butter
- 2 cups diced or shredded apples
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
- Mix dry ingredients. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
- Mix wet ingredients. Whisk eggs, applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), milk, vanilla, and melted coconut oil in another bowl.
- Combine. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Fold in the apples.
- Bake. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean.
- Cool and serve. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly grated nutmeg instead of pre-ground for a stronger flavor.
- If your apples are very juicy, pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the batter.
- The cake tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain moisture.
- If using a glass baking dish, you may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
