Preparation

Step 1

Yield: 24 pieces of cake

Creamy frosting and a dusting of cinnamon sugar will make this Snickerdoodle Apple Cake disappear in a hurry.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray.

Mix together the cake mix, pudding mix, apple juice, applesauce, eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, and then 2 minutes on medium speed.

Stir together the apples and flour, and then gently stir into the cake batter. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake for 35-38 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool.

Beat the butter and vanilla until creamy. Add the salt and cinnamon and beat again.

Slowly beat in the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream until light and fluffy. Spread on the cooled cake.

Mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of the cake. Serve slices of cake with apple slices.

Notes

*You can also use a piping bag and large icing tip to swirl the frosting on top of the cake.
