Oh, and it’s apple season. Apples. My favorite fruit. Crunchy, sweet, tart, fresh, and absolutely delicious. So naturally I jump at any opportunity…

Apple roundup and a cinnamon apple cake

I ruvv fall. Almost as much as I ruvv this cinnamon apple cake. The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and the colder temperatures mean I can start wearing sweaters again. Oh, and it’s apple season. Apples. My favorite fruit. Crunchy, sweet, tart, fresh, and absolutely delicious. So naturally I jump at any opportunity to make apple desserts. Here’s a quick recap of my previous apple adventures:

Upside-down apple biscuits: delectable little guys. 
Scrumptious apple pie: an elegant pie perfect for company. 
Applesauce spice cake: one of the best cakes I’ve ever eaten. 
Apple cinnamon coffeecake: my go-to fall cake. So dense and flavorful. 
 

And now to add to the list, this cinnamon apple cake! It’s super moist but also light, and makes a lot of cake, seeing as half of the volume is apples. So that means half the calories, right? No, who am I kidding. It means twice the portion size.

Yaaaay. Fall.
