Apple Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Please See Other Recipes

I think I’ve had an apple everyday for about 20 years. (Clearly, I’ve taken the “apple a day” saying very seriously). So when I was looking through my old fall recipes on Just So Tasty, I was surprised when I realized there were barely any apple recipes
so, I figured it was time to share this Apple Spice Cake with cream cheese frosting. It’s a dense, super moist spice cake that’s filled with apples. Then it’s frosted with creamy, fluffy cream cheese frosting.
For this recipe we’re using a combination of apple sauce and shredded apple. In baking, I typically recommend using a tart, crunchy apples because the flavor mellows during baking. Apples like granny smith, golden delicious or pink lady work perfectly. I wouldn’t recommend using red delicious though, since it’s flavor isn’t as strong.
