What part of the year is it best to make it?
The beauty of Apple Cinnamon Cake recipe is its versatility – it can be enjoyed year-round.
The crisp, sweet, and slightly tart flavors of apples harvested in fall complement the cake’s richness perfectly, making it an ideal choice for Thanksgiving or any cozy gathering.
Where can I buy the ingredients to make Apple Cinnamon Cake ?
Most of these ingredients can be found at your local grocery store or farmer’s market.
Look for high-quality apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, along with staples like flour, sugar, and eggs.
You can also buy ground cinnamon, but it is better to use a cinnamon stick as it gives more flavor to the apples.
Can I substitute any of the recipe ingredients?
Of course! If you’re looking to add a personal touch or adapt the recipe to dietary preferences, here are some substitutions to consider:
- Sugar: you can use coconut sugar for a more caramel-like flavor.
- Butter: you can use regular unsalted butter or even a plant-based butter alternative.
- Apples: Experiment with different apple varieties to find your favorite flavor profile.
Can I make Apple Cinnamon Cake part of a menu?
Absolutely! My Apple Cinnamon Cake pairs beautifully with various dishes.
Consider serving it with a dollop of fresh Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect taste and presentation (optional).
For an appetizer, you can start with a slice of Camembert Quiche.
You can prepare Easy Potato Leek Soup, or Veal Patties as your main.
Then, serve this exquisite Apple Cinnamon Cake. Amazing! 🙂
Recipe tips & tricks
Now, let’s delve into the nitty-gritty of making the perfect Apple Cinnamon Cake. Here are some of my tips and tricks to guarantee success:
- Apple Selection: Choose apples that hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith or Ginger Gold.
- Uniform Slices: Slice your apples evenly to ensure uniform baking and a visually appealing result. A mandoline slicer will help you to achieve that.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring eggs to room temperature for smoother mixing.
This mouthwatering Apple Cinnamon Cake will leave you happy and crave for more. Serve with a dollop of Greek Yogurt and a dash of cinnamon on top (optional).
Wine pairings and non-alcoholic options
Curated by Leo.
To elevate your dining experience, pair this Apple Cinnamon Cake with complimentary beverages. Here are a few suggestions:
- Tea: Earl Grey tea provides a fragrant and soothing contrast, especially if you add a slice of fresh lemon. That’s what I always do. 🙂
- Coffee: A shot of espresso or a cappuccino highlights the cake’s caramelized notes.
- Wine: Opt for a sweet wine like white Port Wine or a glass of sparkling wine for a delightful harmony of flavors.
How long can I store the leftovers?

How much vanilla sugar. Where does the melted butter come into play and the Greek yogurt. Nothing in the recipe says anything about the three topics.
Hi Gloria,
Thank you for your questions and pointing that out.
1) Please use 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar.
2) The melted butter comes into play in Step 4, when you add it to the whisked yolks together with other ingredients.
3) Greek yogurt is optional – you can use a dollop of it to put on top when serving the cake (Step 10).
Hope you enjoy!
