Simple Apple Cake Recipes

This page features a collection of straightforward apple cake recipes that emphasize ease of preparation, common ingredients, and delicious results.

First recipe is a “Simple Apple Cake,” which uses a yellow cake mix as a base for convenience. You slice tart apples, toss them with sugar and cinnamon, and layer them with a crumbly topping made from the remaining mix and melted butter. Baked in two stages at 350 degrees, it emerges golden and ready to serve with cream or whipped topping.

The “Apple Blossom Cake,” incorporating chopped apples and peanuts for a nutty twist. This oil-based cake mixes in vanilla, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and bakes for 40-50 minutes. It’s suggested to sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top before baking for extra flair, and it pairs wonderfully with milk or whipped topping.

Try the “Spiced Apple Pound Cake.” This denser option blends spiced apple yogurt with butter, eggs, and vanilla, beaten to perfection and baked in a mini bundt pan at 325 degrees. After cooling, it’s drizzled with a cinnamon glaze and sprinkled with pecans, serving 10-12 people.

The “Applesauce Cake” keeps things fruity with applesauce and raisins, spiced generously with cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg. It’s a simple creamed mixture baked for an hour in an 8-inch pan—no fuss, just pure comfort.

Rounding out the selection is another “Apple Cake,” this time with a layered approach: a thick batter made from flour, oil, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla alternates with cinnamon-sugared apple slices in an angel food pan. Baked for an hour, it serves 10 and is best enjoyed with whipped cream.

Overall, this Syracuse Area cookbook page is a treasure trove for beginner bakers or anyone seeking quick, apple-centric treats.
