I can’t believe it’s that time of year again! The kitchen is filled with lovely smells and presents are stacking up under the tree- Christmas is here again. I’ve had a bit of a nagging cough over the last few weeks, which seems to get better then come back with a vengeance every so often. So I’ve done a bit of comfort baking, and what is more comforting during the holidays than apples and cinnamon? For me, it’s not candy canes or gingerbread men- that’s the ultimate sign of the holidays.
They say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? Well in that case- I want to enjoy my apples in other ways than just straight out of the fruit basket. This cake is my idea of heaven. Soft and crumbly because of the tart apples with a bit of crunch from the streusel topping and heaps of cinnamon! It kind of reminds me of a cake version of Apples & Cinnamon Oatmeal- a perfect excuse to eat cake for breakfast if you ask me!
When choosing your apple- think about what little pops of flavor you want in your cake. Tart and tangy like a Granny Smith? Or sweet and fruity like a Golden Delicious? Or a mix of your favorites! It doesn’t matter really, so use whatever suits your tastes.
Enjoy the holidays everyone! Go bake someone happy! Xxx
