Apple desserts are and have always been some of my favorite ones. I have a soft spot for them, probably because my mom made them often and we have a lot of yummy apple cakes and sweets in Croatia. I’ve wanted to make an apple filled cake for a while and honestly, my kids were begging for it. I’ve made something similar a few times before but now I made sure to write everything down properly so I can share it. I think what makes this apple spice cake so yummy is how much apples it has – lots- and that they are sliced pretty thinly. It makes for a delicious moist cake and it’s honestly perfect any time of the year, but these spices definitely make it more seasonal. I hope you try and make it because I am sure you will love it as much as we do!
