These luscious little apple cakes say “autumn” with every bite. Made with sweetly tart apples fresh off the tree, spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a delightful cider glaze.
Why try? This is a dessert just about everyone will love and it makes a wonderful presentation.
Foodie byte: You may choose to serve it whole, or with a small wedge cut out to display a generous dollop of whipped cream cascading down the center (as shown in the photo).
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 cups sugar

- 4 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Preparation
-
1Preheat oven to 350ºF.

I'm going to try your Mini Apple Cakes with Cider Glaze recipe, but it doesn't have the recipe for the glaze. Can you provide the recipe and email it to me. Thank you.
