Chunky Apple Cake

Chunky Apple Cake
Recipe Tip
A+ Apples
Apples are loaded with fiber, the soluble kind that helps lower blood cholesterol. Start slowly so your body has time to get used to more fiber.

Good Apple Cake
When I first mixed this cake up I thought I had left something out (like liquid) or I had gotten something wrong because it didn't look like it was going to be good at all. When I had baked (and it did smell awesome) we couldn't wait for it to cool too much because we wanted to try it right away. It was DELICIOUS! It is important what kind of apples you use. They need to be juicy because as I found out, that's what helps spread the flour mixture out when baking. I used brau (?) apples first and then granny smith apples second. The granny smith apples I didn't like. To make this even more diabetic-friendly I used Splenda instead of sugar and it worked well also. Definitely a keeper!

Love Apple.....
One of favorite fruit apple...I want try that recipe of Chunky Apple Cake. I think it is better feel chunky when you eat it than slice the apple! When I look at the recipe. I do not follow the recipe but I change 3 things in recipe to low calories and fat. I used 1/2 cup Splenda Sugar instead real sugar, 3 white eggs instead 1 whole egg, and 1/2 cup applesauce instead 1/4 cup oil. Also, it is say 2 medium apple for 2 cups. I used 2 big braeburn apples because I want more apple in cake. It is actually, I used this recipe and change the recipe in same time. It is so GREAT taste of Chunky Apple Cake! I really love it!!! Try it!

delicious
Because my family doesn't like to take the time to cut up a cake, I made this into cupcaks and they only needed to be baked for 20 minutes. They were a hit with my family, and they loved the chunks of apple in the cupcakes.
