Moist Apple Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting

Apple Cake

Apple season is upon us and we have so many varieties of apples here in Washington – I love trying out all the different varieties. Did you know that Washington Apple Growers produce 6 out of every 10 apples consumed here in the US. That’s a lot of apples being grown over the mountains.

With so many apples being grown here in the Northwest, we can find some great prices on apples in the late summer/early fall, so I love to try new ways to use apples in recipe since they really are so frugal. My family loves a good dessert and so this apple cake is always a hit in our house!

You can make it with or without the frosting – it’s so moist, you can skip the frosting if you don’t want the extra sweetness. It’s a great dessert for a party as it feeds a crowd too!
