When my mom was going through some of my Nana’s things that we had in the attic. She found an envelope with a few recipes in it in my grandmothers handwriting. How sweet! This apple cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting is the first of the recipes I created and it came out wonderful. The apple cake is moist and filled with apples while the cinnamon cream cheese frosting has a bit of spice.

Either way you will be transported back to your grandma’s kitchen with this Apple Cake Recipe.

I made a few adjustments to the recipe because originally it was an apple nut cake. My family does not like nuts in their cake. If you are a lover of nuts you can add 1 cup chopped walnuts into the batter before baking.
