Here’s a simple, moist apple cake recipe that’s warm, soft, and full of cinnamon flavor.

Soft, moist cake with tender apple pieces and warm cinnamon flavor—almost like apple pie in cake form.
If you want, I can also give you a German-style apple cake (super buttery and layered) or a quick 5-minute microwave mug version.
