Cinnamon and apple have a pretty little friendship, right? They lift like friends only do. And though when they are apart, they are entirely different things, together they are their flavor entity: apple-cinnamon. The word allows the combination of cozy, moist spice, and tender, sweet apples come to mind. And that combo (with an added sidekick for a bit of crunch of chopped walnuts) is just the pair to taste a simple everyday cake like this one.
We think of a “daily” cake as a cake, which comes in a bowl together, needs less than 15 minutes for the oven, and needs no frosting. You know, the kind of baked in a pan which would simply go through a quick bread? That is what this is. You can bake it in any type of pan you want, eat it as a snack or quick dessert, or even sneak a slice for breakfast — it doesn’t matter. This cake has a tender, moist crumb and has a strong cinnamon flavor. The apples do not overrun– there’s just enough to keep it moist and flavourful – but make sure you chop it pretty well. Here you don’t want large chunks either. It’s a crunchy sandwich. Simple to make, easy to enjoy, and with a classic blend of sweetness and spice.
