Fall is coming.
Supposedly. I don’t know when its going to show up here, but I’m holding out hope that all those boots and jeans and sweaters will get to come out to play at some point.
A friend of ours was going through a hard time, so I made him this cake, which to me is one of the most comforting cakes to grace the face of this earth. I have tremendously fond memories of this recipe, which came from my dad’s mother.
I can only remember two of her recipes, one of which is this one, but I very specifically remember being super excited when we would go to visit or vice versa because I knew this cake would be making an appearance. To this day, I will go to town and eat with reckless abandon whenever it’s around.
(I try and not have it in the house often.)
So, I’m happy to pass it along to all of you. You’ll absolutely love it- it’s superbly moist and delicious. Unlike a lot of cake recipes, this one is fuss-free, fast, easy to put together, and the plethora of beautiful bundt pans out there takes care of all the decorating for you. What more can you ask for?

The presence of apples and walnuts in this beautiful cake make it a healthy treat. Apples are highly nutritious and they are high in fiber, which may help in weight-loss. Walnuts’ health benefits are oftentimes overlooked. Walnuts are nutrient-rich superfruits that are beneficial to our health, responsible for strengthening bones, improving heart health, and aiding in weight management. Walnuts also contain no cholesterol and no trans fat. Adding more walnuts to this recipe wouldn’t hurt, would it?

I make this cake..my recipe gas you dicing the UNPEELED (not real big pieces, maybe about the size of a dried pinto bean) apples. It’s wonderful and you never know the apples weren’t peeled. Very old recipe.
