I just peel and grate the apples on one of those tin hand graters, which I find is the easiest way to grate apples. Plus it finely grates them and make this cake nice and moist. This cake is made in a 9X13 and comes together pretty quickly after you grate the apples.
- I have used all kinds of apples in this cake so use what you enjoy!
- We love the cream cheese frosting, but caramel frosting would be good to! Find a great recipe here.
- All apples very in size so it’s hard to say exactly how many you need. I used about 4 apples for this recipe.
