Apple Chunk Cake

this recipe

What do you do with a surplus of apples? It’s a dilemma many face every year, especially now at the end of the season. So if you’re looking for an easy – and delicious – apple recipe to serve over the holidays, try this Apple Chunk Cake! It is moist with the perfect amount of sweetness and spice – plus large chunks of apple and chopped walnuts add great flavor and texture!

Apples are one of the most popular foods in the US, with each American eating about 19 pounds a year! However, apples are a treat that you can feel good about eating as they are packed with disease-fighting vitamins and antioxidants, easily making them one of the best fruits for your health. While applesauce and apple juice do contain some valuable health benefits, eating apples in their whole form will give you the synergistic blend of nutrients and fiber the way nature intended.

Also, make sure to look for organic apples, since apples are one of the most pesticide-contaminated fruits out there. However, if you purchase conventional apples, briefly soaking them in a solution of 10 percent vinegar to 90 percent water may help to remove some pesticides.
