This cake is perfect for apple picking season, as it's a great way to use up extra apples. Feel free to use a variety of whatever apples you have on hand-from golden delicious to gala to granny smith, this cake always comes out rich, moist, and just right. The sweet apple cinnamon scent that fills the kitchen while it bakes is absolutely heart-warming.
There are so many apples in this recipe that their natural sweetness reduces the need for a lot of added sugar. You'll also notice it doesn't need salt, baking soda, or baking powder. I used whole wheat pastry flour, which is milled from soft wheat and is perfect for pastries because its lower protein content makes it lighter than regular whole wheat flour, which is milled from hard red wheat. I love to use whole wheat pastry flour for my more delicate pastries because it is still rich in fiber and is much better nutritionally than white flour. You can find whole wheat pastry flour at your regular supermarket in the health section or your local bulk food store.
