We are all big into fall baking in our homes.

Well, okay, we are big into baking in and out of every season and holiday. But! When autumn comes around, there are apples and pumpkins and spices to bake with. And a bit more time spent indoors to bake it.

Today, we’re going to share the best apple cake recipe, which is in The Artful Year: Celebrating the Seasons & Holidays with Crafts & Recipes.

This apple cake is easy, delicious, and full of apple goodness.

We make ours in a bundt pan most of the time because the result is so pretty, especially with an elegant dusting of powdered sugar. But you can also bake this as a sheet cake or make a batch of tasty apple muffins with this recipe.
