This snack cake is over the top delicious. Three whole apples are packed into this cake, so you can imagine how moist it is. On day two (if there is any left) it is twice as moist!!
½ cup butter (room temperature)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
3 medium apples, chopped
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 cup flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Grease a 9" x 9" baking pan and preheat your oven to 350.
Cream butter and sugar, then add egg and vanilla and beat until fluffy, add the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg and beat until smooth. Fold in apples and walnuts.
Mix (by hand) just until everything is well combined. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until toothpick tests clean (my oven took 43 minutes). Frost with simple vanilla glaze if you like (but it isn't necessary).

I collect apple recipes; this one looks like a keeper! YUMMMMMM Going to copy this on one of my treasured 3 x 6 cards and stash with my favorite recipes.
Looks delicious Coleen. I think my husband would devour this in no time. One of the first cakes I ever baked as a child was an apple snack cake that was from a box. It was sooo good!
OOHHHH I'm making this-I have 20 pounds of apples to use up!! Thanks for the reminder about snack-in cakes my Grandmother used to make them for us!!
