🍏✨ Cinnamon Apple Cake – Layers of Cozy Comfort

March 23, 2025 by BMA24


There’s something magical about the scent of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven. This Cinnamon Apple Cake is more than dessertβ€”it’s a warm hug in every bite. With layers of tender apples, cinnamon-sugar swirls, and a soft, moist crumb, this cake brings classic comfort straight to your table.


🍎 Ingredients

  • 4 cups apples, peeled and thinly sliced (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work beautifully)
  • 1 Β½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Β½ tsp baking soda
  • Β½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Β½ tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • Β½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ΒΎ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Β½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease an 8Γ—8-inch baking dish or line with parchment.

2️⃣ Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

3️⃣ Cream the base: In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and sour cream.

4️⃣ Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined.

5️⃣ Assemble the cake: Spread half of the batter in the prepared pan. Layer half of the apple slices evenly on top. Repeat with remaining batter and apples.

6️⃣ Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

7️⃣ Cool & serve: Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing for that bakery-style finish.


πŸ’‘ Tips for Success

  • For an extra layer of goodness, mix a little brown sugar and cinnamon with the apples before layering.
  • Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
  • Keeps beautifully covered at room temp for 2 days or in the fridge up to 5.
