One of the biggest dilemmas I face in the fall is what to do with the barrels of apples that get during annual trips to the apple orchard. One of my absolute favorite things to make with fresh apples is undoubtedly apple cake. A big slice of dense, moist apple cake is my autumn weakness, especially when enjoyed with a hot cup of coffee on a cool day.
Since there is no point resisting the allure of apples, below you will find 9 of the best apple cake recipes around. All of these recipes are easy to make and absolutely delicious. You should make at least one of these recipes before fall is over, but you should probably make them all. (Plus, October is National Apple Month. How could you NOT stuff yourself silly with apple cake?)
