I love this apple pie cake! Apple season is quickly approaching! Yay for that chill in the air and all the fall festivities! This super moist apple pie cake tastes like a delicious slice of apple pie with a scoop of ice cream on top. So yummy!
I love that this cake has apple pie filling in the cake, which keeps things moist and hearty. The sweetened whipped cream that lies between and on top gives the perfect apple pie al la mode vibe to this cake and really compliments the apple pie topping with it’s rich spices.
The apple pie topping is made of sautéed apples with a spiced and delicious glaze that coats and permeates the apple cake. The whole combination is homey, decadent and scrumptious.
