Apple Cake (pg. 736)

Jess is watching a really long coffee episode of BA test kitchen, and it's boring, so I'll blog about the apple cake I made a couple weeks ago. We had a lot of mushy apples from back in the day when we thought we would need to pack lunches. I looked up "apples" in the index and stumbled upon one of the best, easiest cakes I've ever had.

Jess granted cinnamon permission, which might be why the cake was so delicious. I probably haven't eaten cinnamon in five years... in solidarity. At least, that's what Jess thinks. Anyway, the cinnamon is necessary so don't skip it. I might have cut the amount in half. It's hard to remember. But you still need some cinnamon.

Jess' biggest critique was that "the apples were diced too big" and they "sunk to the bottom." I thought they were evenly dispersed. The picture doesn't lie:

That is an apple chunk at the TOP. Totally didn't sink. Jess changed her tune after her second piece.

The cake was moist and stayed that way until we finished it. No icing necessary.

Em's rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for evenly-dispersed apples and forbidden cinnamon
Jess' rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for the chance to critique Em's baking then being pleasantly surprised
