About this dish
Apple cakes are cakes in which apples feature as a main flavour and ingredient. These cakes incorporate apples in a variety of forms, including diced, pureed, or stewed, and can feature common additions like raisins, nuts, and 'sweet' spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg. They are a common and popular dessert worldwide, thanks to millennia of apple cultivation in Asia and Europe, and their widespread introduction and propagation throughout the Americas during the Columbian Exchange and colonisation. As a result, apple desserts, including cakes, have a huge number of variations.
