I love cooking seasonally, and when October rolls around I find myself wanting to bake this recipe. It is TRULY foolproof! I recently decided to try another "apple cake" recipe and was very disappointed - there weren't enough apples - the cake was dry and bland. But this one never fails and I want to share it with you - I hope you decide to try it. www.trebleclefchef.blogspot.com

How To Make foolproof apple cake

    Combine the apples and sugar in a bowl; let stand 10 full minutes.
  • Step 3
    Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt on a large bowl; stir well. Make a well in center of mixture.
  • Step 4
    Combine the oil, vanilla and egg white - beat until slightly frothy. Add to the flour mixture and mix well.
  • Step 5
    This will be VERY dry. (There will be some moisture from the apple mixture)
  • Step 6
    Add the apples and any juice that has collected at the bottom of the bowl. (it's ok to add a tsp or so of water to the mixture if it doesn't come together).
  • Step 7
    Spoon mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish, sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until slightly browned at edges.
  • Apples....cinnamon.....sugar = YUM!
    Step 8
