Quick apple-based baked goods are perfect when we're short on time. Often, we just add pieces of fruit to a plain cake or sponge cake. With just a few basic ingredients, such as flour, sugar, eggs, and, of course, apples, you can create a delicious dessert to please any palate.

Best apples for baking

Choosing the right apples for your cake is crucial for achieving the perfect taste and texture in the bake. For a diet-friendly cake, as well as other apple pies, sour varieties like Antonovka or Grey Reinette are excellent choices. They hold their shape during baking and add a distinct flavour. Their tartness perfectly balances the sweetness of the cake.
