25Aug2015Apple Pound Cake Jump to Recipe Print Recipe 2.5K8 Celebrate apple season with this beautiful cake filled with fresh, chopped apples and dusted with powdered sugar – a dessert everyone will love! I feel like pound cake is a dessert that pretty much, universally everyone loves and is drawn to! My Grandmom makes an insanely addictive pound cake and she always dusted the top with powdered sugar, so to me when I make pound cake it has to have that signature dusting as well. I was so fortunate to have been gifted a LARGE bag of beautiful green apples from some friends at church and I thought it would be such a yummy addition to traditional pound cake. This one is a bit lighter than the usual pound cake as well, which I think pairs great with the chunks of sweet apples throughout. Make this fabulous cake to take along to a potluck dinner, or as a way to celebrate apple picking season! We won’t be out there picking as usual, what with me having to sit down every 5 minutes or else my back feels like it’s going to break in half… so make sure you take those kiddos apple picking for me! It’s truly one of our family’s favorite fall activities. This one will get your house smelling wonderfully in no time!Recipe PrintApple Pound CakeCelebrate apple season with this beautiful cake filled with fresh, chopped apples and dusted with powdered sugar - a dessert everyone will love!
