One of the things I love most about this cake is how perfectly the flavors are balanced, just like a beautiful autumn day! In addition to the other flavors, almond extract adds a subtle touch.


Apple season is the best time to make this apple recipe. A dusting of powdered sugar is all that's needed to finish the cake.

How to prepare

Even though this Apple Walnut Cake looks sophisticated, it is incredibly easy to prepare! With only a wooden spoon, mix together the eggs, sugar, then add the dry ingredients - flour and almond flour, melted butter, diced apples, and coarsely chopped pecan nuts.


Mix everything together, spread on the prepared tray, sprinkle with pecans and flake almonds, and bake. There is nothing like it!
