Bored of banana bread? Try an apple loaf cake instead. This recipe is beginner friendly, so anyone can make it. Tastewise, it’s similar to an apple pie, but in loaf form. It’s also much quicker and easier to make than a traditional apple pie.
Apples
For this recipe, I used Pink Lady apples, but you can use any sweet apple you like. I wouldn’t recommend using Granny Smith apples or other more sour varieties. I tried it once (see the 4th picture below) and didn’t like it as much, as the contrast with the cake was too strong.
To grate the apples, wash them first, then use a coarse grater. Make sure to dry them before grating so you have a better grip.
Toast
Got leftover cake? Pop a slice in the toaster or toast it in a frying pan without oil, then serve it with a bit of salted butter. It’s really good, maybe even better than a regular slice.
Hope you like it as much as I do!
