Pin ItEasy Apple Cake – Only 3 Ingredients!
Are y’all ready for some Fall baking?! I am!! I have been dreaming about pumpkin and apple treats for weeks now. As you may have already noticed from some of my recent posts, I have given in and started baking. Of course, it’s still hotter than you know what here in Phoenix … nevermind that though … let’s do some baking!

I wanted to share this Easy Apple Cake last year, but it’s one of those recipes I never got around to making. It only has THREE ingredients and it’s perfect for Fall baking! I like to make it look a little fancier with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, but that it totally optional and up to you! I’ve linked my Homemade Sweetened Whipped Cream in the recipe below in case you would like a homemade version. A scoop of cinnamon or vanilla ice cream would be great also! Of course, it’s great by itself also! 🙂

Can I make this in a bundt pan? If so, does that change the baking time?
I have never tried it that way. I’m sure you can – and yes, adjust the baking time accordingly.
I am going to try pineapple pie filling and see how that turns out.
Do angel food cake and a can of crushed pineapple. Bake 30 mins at 350. Then layer on cool whip and then sliced strawberries. It’s the best!
I used a spice cake mix and it was soooo yummy!
I love this idea! Delicious!
