Besides pumpkin, apple recipe are a must make for fall. Does anything smell better than a house filled with the aroma of apples and cinnamon? I don't think anything can beat the smell of an apple crisp baking.
This loaf cake is packed with diced apples and cinnamon. My two secret ingredients are to use buttermilk and apple juice. Buttermilk makes loaf cakes turned out so soft and moist.
It's a quick recipe to prepare and takes around an hour to bake.
