Apple cake with cinnamon
Description
The baking is simple and quick. This homemade apple cinnamon cake turns out incredibly tender—melt-in-your-mouth delicious! I personally love the citrus notes combined with cinnamon. And the apples become so flavorful, words can't describe it. Do give it a try—this is a fresh and delicate dessert. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.
