My Moms Fresh Apple Cake has been in the family for as long as I can remember. This Fall favorite cake is moist, filled with spices, toasted pecans and loaded with fresh apples. ❤
Earlier in the week I did a review post about those delicious SweeTango Apples from Walmart. Well, in that particular post there was a photo of an apple cake that I had baked. That apple cake is my mother in laws Fresh Apple Cake.
I promised I would get the recipe posted later in the week, so a promise is a promise. We pretty much devoured all those apples, but I did manage to hide a few to bake this delicious cake.
I don't know why I haven't blogged about this cake until now. Probably because I have always enjoyed a slice at my mother in laws house. This is only the second time I have ever baked this cake myself.
When mom makes this apple cake she doesn't top it with a glaze. That was just a perk on my part. She usually places the pecan halves right on top as soon as she inverts the cake onto a serving plate. I myself loved the addition of the icing and will be adding it from here on out.
Once the cake was in the oven, the cinnamon and spice aromas lingered through the whole house. It was at that moment that I knew Fall had arrived. I'm sad to say that all the apples are gone, but we are hoping to have the chance to go apple picking at Henrietta Creek Orchard. We haven't gotten to go the last couple years because there just hasn't been any apples to pick, but I called and they said possibly in October {fingers crossed}.
Until then I will continue to buy my apples at the grocery store, so I can enjoy all my favorite apples recipes.
I'm excited to announce that my mother in laws apple cake made part of a full page feature in the November 2012 Issue of Texas Live Magazine. What a honor for me and my mother in law.

Mama had a apple cake she made every Christmas too so every time I see a fresh apple cake I think of her! Sounds & looks perfect Tina.

Wow this looks incredible. This would be great for Thanksgiving. Our Canadian one is earlier than the American so I need to figure out what to make by next week. Lol!

I have heard about making apple cakes in canning jars and adding them to your food storage. Have you heard of this before? Would this recipe be able to be canned?

I can't wait to try this recipe! It looks wonderful! I LOVE Sweet tango Apples! I found them at Walmart as well and when I went back two days later to buy more, they were out! The produce manager said that he hopes they get another shipment in....Fingers crossed :) I may try this with Honeycrisp which are yummy apples as well! Thanks!

I made this with half oil/applesauce. It tasted good. I just couldn't get it out of the bundt pan very well!!

It sounds like it is your baking pan. You need to make sure to grease and flour the bundt pan making sure to get every crack. If it is a newer pan it can take a bit to break it in. Mine is about 15 years old so things slide out nicely.

Here is a link to an apple chart. It will tell you the best apples used for cooking and baking. I prefer to use golden delicious, that is my own preference.

I found this on pinterest 3 yrs ago. I make it 2 or 3 times a year and everyone always asks for the recipe! It's the best apple cake around!!!

Our grand daughter can;t have gluten or dairy. I am wondering if I could substitute 1-to-1 gluten free all purpose flour? I'm also curious about trying apple cider instead of the milk or apple juice. I think cider has a much richer flavor and more body than juice. I suppose I could always use coconut milk.
