Have you gone apple picking yet this season? If you have, then you probably ended up with more apples than you know what to do with.
If you’ve already turned some of those apples into pie and strudel, then you might want to try this apple cake recipe next.
According to Home for the Harvest, the best time to go apple picking is in September. You’ll want to immediately use any apples that are bruised or have visible decay. These apples won’t store well. Apples that are going to be eaten right away can be stored in a bowl on the counter for a few days.
It’s best to put the rest of the apples in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator, according to Taste of Home.
This delicious apple cake is so simple to make and is perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat.
