It Might Be Eggless, But The Taste Of This Apple Cake Will Still Ignite Your Senses

My family is a fan of apple pies and cobblers, but sometimes we want something new. For me, an apple is a versatile fruit ingredient; and it can be used in almost every dessert out there. One of our particular favorites is the apple meringue cake because the meringue just gave justice to its partnership with apples. This eggless apple cake recipe is as homey as apple pies and cobblers. So you will feel comforted when you eat a slice of this cake. You only have to try so you will believe me.

See what our friends from My Recession Kitchen have to say about this recipe:

“The cake takes almost an hour to bake.  Test it in the center with a toothpick to be sure that it’s done.  You want to resist the temptation to cut this cake too soon,  let it cool for a couple of hours before you cut it.  You can see the wonderfully moist chunks of apple in the middle of the cake.”

Patience is a virtue; and you will get your reward in its most perfect form after two hours. Your family is going to love this moist cake. In fact, they will probably ask you to make this again and again and again.

Quick Tip: For the apples: microwave for one minute in a few teaspoons of water to soften so they won’t become dry.
