I can see people making their favorite fall recipes inspiring me to bake this simple, moist, buttery Whole Wheat Apple Almond Cake.
Happy Fall with Apple Cake
I think I’m a bit late in baking fall recipes. But I think Mother Nature is going crazy this time as it already feels like winter. Still, I don’t want to miss joining the Fall baking group. I chose Apple to bake as I wanted to make my daughter have that fruit.
Whenever I give Apple in her snack box, it comes back as such. So I was looking for recipes to include fruits to have in her school snack time. That’s how I landed on this recipe. I loved how simple the recipe was and how easy to make. The other Apple recipes you can see in this space are Apple Pie Crescent Rolls, Apple Fritters, Eggless Whole Wheat Apple Pancake, Nutella Apple Bread Roll, Crunchy Cinnamon Apple French Toast Roll ups, Whole Wheat Banana Pancake with caramelized Apple.
How to make a fresh apple cake with almonds
As I said earlier, I adapted this recipe. The only change I made is using Whole Wheat Flour to make this cake. I followed all else the same in the original recipe. It is so easy to make this cake as you don’t have to be worried about beating butter and sugar or beating eggs to peak. Just mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Add Apple slices and nuts. Bake. That’s it. How easy it is, Right?
But don’t underestimate the cake as it is easy to make. The cake tastes amazing. It is moist, buttery, and nutty. The Almonds on the top give a nice crunch to the moist cake. This cake is not overly sweet. It is mild to have a slice or two with your favorite tea or coffee.
What apple to use to make cake?
I used Granny Smith Apples as I had only that at the time of baking the cake. You can also use Honey Crisp Apples.

My family loved this cake! I was happy that it uses staple ingredients which I had all at home, and I made it for a Sunday brunch. Delicious!
That’s so nice to hear. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
No much better than apples and almonds together. Throw that into a yummy cake and you have the perfect dessert!

Would you recommend adding any cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, etc to this to make it more of a spice cake or would that take away from the intended flavor?
I would suggest cinnamon or allspice for this cake. I’m sure it would enhance the flavor for sure. 1 tsp of either of the spice will be good. Thank you and let me know your feedback.
Thank you Lathiya, I ended up using cinnamon. This is perfect for those who do not like overly sweet cakes, like myself. It turned out as more of a bread and it was delicious. Enjoyed by all, especially my 3 year old!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe. Thank you for your feedback.
I made this and is was so good! Even my husband liked it a lot and that is saying something. We try to eat only whole foods so I replaced the sugar with a spoonful of honey. It was definitely sweet enough for us and I just loved how it turned out. Thank you so much for the recipe!!
