There's an awesome farm about an hour away, in the mountains of Virginia. They have a Pick-Your-Own apple orchard. I took advantage of the awesome weather this past weekend and picked a bunch. I was itching to bake something with these gems, so I chose my Apple Spice Cakes to start. I have made these cakes for years and they've always been a hit. And that was with store-bought apples. Well, fresh apples, just hours off the tree, must be even better!
And here they are:
I finely chopped so many little bits of apple. There's more apple than anything else in these cakes. I added chopped walnuts and spices, and then I glazed them with an apple syrup to lock in moisture and give them an extra oomph. They smell heavenly and perfectly spicy, just like Autumn should smell.
$5 a piece for these 3" diameter x 2" high cakes. These cakes should keep for at least a week.
