Serve this healthy apple walnut cake as part of your next holiday gathering, or simply serve it after a nutrient-dense autumn meal. It can be baked in an 8x8-inch baking dish, round cake pan, or easily doubled and baked in a 9x13-inch baking dish. The walnuts add a delicious crunchiness, but they can also be omitted if desired. The best apples to use in this cake recipe are those that break down faster during baking such as Golden Delicious, McIntosh, and Granny Smith varieties.

Great! This was delicious, nutty and hearty. I held back a little on the cloves and nutmeg but I won’t next time!

Tasty, good texture, not too sweet and it freezes well. I made mine with quince from our tree instead of apples.
