There is hardly anyone who doesn’t love apple cake, and if comes with walnuts and cinnamon, all the better! If you don’t happen to like cinnamon, you can totally omit it and it will be equally delicious.
It is very easy to make, and you can replace the apples with any fruit of your choosing. It is particularly good with blueberries.
The result is a spongy cake with tender apples, and the walnut topping is just amazing!
This is a great cake to serve at teatime, but you can also turn it into a desert by serving it with an ice cream scoop, whipped cream or yogurt.
