Best cinnamon sugar apple cake recipe

בס"ד

After we tried a delicious apple cake on our recent trip to Greece, I had to try and recreate that recipe.

 

My experience with fruit cakes isn't that big. Mostly because I only gave this kind of dessert a chance in the past few years. Drinking coffee is also one of those things that entered that list of "only tried recently."
So you can say my tastebuds have finally matured :-)

Since I don't have much experience with this kind of recipe, I searched the net. I found out there are tons of types of apple cakes, from German apple cake, French apple cake, and even a Polish apple cake, to a Jewish apple cake—each with its uniqueness.

I found a cake that resembled the one we had in Greece. However, it was dairy, and the one we had was a non-dairy, parve cake. It also contained a significant amount of sugar.
So I decided to make some changes to it, and I got an incredibly moist and slightly sweet apple cake recipe made with fresh apples and a crackling sweet crust and a moist and light base.

The cake didn't come out exactly like the one we so enjoyed in Thessaloniki, Greece. However, it is so tasty that you ought to make it.
Another thing that is great about this cake is the fact that the apple taste is not that noticeable.
Since I grated the apples, the cake has a mild apple taste to it, making it perfect for those who don't like fruit cakes.
