Yu Yu 3 min read

The apples soften during baking, the walnuts add crunchy little pieces, and the cinnamon leaves that aroma that fills the kitchen as soon as you open the oven. These three ingredients are enough to give character to a simple cake, ready to be sliced ​​and served for breakfast or a snack: walnut and apple cake .

In this version, the apples are used in two ways: diced into the batter and sliced ​​on top. This way, each slice contains the fruit, while the top is enriched with chopped walnuts and a little sugar. There’s no need to prepare any creams or fillings: once cooled, the cake is ready to serve.
