Lovely Apple Loaf Cake

This lovely loaf couldn’t be a more perfect cake, it’s moist, easy and tasty!

Such a great way to use up those apples! Do you get many apples from your trees or from friends and neighbours?

I get loads! Or occasionally sometimes those fruit bowl ones, you know the ones that everyone is avoiding!

Well if you do and you don’t know what to do with them here’s the answer….

This recipe is so very popular – Pinterest loves it?! and I mean LOVES it!

It is a super old fashioned cake and so very very easy peasy to make.

I’m sure you’ll make it time and time again!

And it really does keeps so well in the cake tin I promise!

Changing up your Apple & Fruit Loaf?

You can try adding a little cinnamon if you like, it works well Or indeed allspice.

If you read the many many comments you’ll see people have added many different things, such as almonds or cranberries.

Please don’t be scared to add your extra things, but please let us know how they work out?

Together we learn

And recently someone made it with Rhubarb pulp – now there’s an idea

Eggless Apple & Fruit Loaf

Also I’d like to mention that this cake doesn’t contain eggs, it’s no a mistake.

Some people asked as they couldn’t believe it. Trust me you don’t need eggs in this recipe. Perfect if you have someone who can’t eat eggs

You’ll also notice how simple the ingredient list is. It’s not a complicated recipe at all.

Plain and simple but oh so good. As they say sometimes simple is best 🙂

Serving your Fruit Loaf

Well clearly you can just slice a lovely big piece if the loaf and settle down with a cuppa. However why don’t you try it buttered with a slice of cheese – yes really!

That’s exactly what we do in the north, well my family and friends for sure!

Please don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

There is something so divine about the sweetness of the cake and the creamy saltiness of the cheese! A marriage made in heaven.

Do you eat fruit cake with cheese?

I dare you to try!

I have to thank Freda for Freda’s Apple & Fruit loaf recipe! It’s amazing!

Did you know there are over 2500 different kinds of apples – now that’s a little mind-blowing for me
