If you have one apple, a few eggs, and a handful of nuts at home, try this incredibly simple apple cake. It’s soft and moist on the inside, slightly crunchy on top, and loaded with the flavors of apple, cinnamon, pistachios, almonds, and walnuts.
The best part? Most of the preparation happens right in the blender!
🍎 Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 medium sweet apple
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons walnuts
- 2 tablespoons almonds
- 2 tablespoons pistachios
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, optional for a slightly fluffier texture
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional if you prefer it sweeter
For the topping:
- 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
- A few thin apple slices
- A small pinch of cinnamon
🥣 Step 1: Prepare the Apple
Wash the apple thoroughly. You can leave the skin on for extra texture or peel it if you prefer a smoother cake.
Remove the core and seeds, then cut the apple into small chunks.
🥚 Step 2: Add Everything to the Blender
Place the chopped apple and 2 eggs into a blender.
Add the rolled oats, cinnamon, walnuts, almonds, and pistachios.
For a sweeter cake, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
If you want the cake to rise a little more, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.
🌀 Step 3: Blend
Blend everything until you have a thick, creamy batter.
You don’t need to make it perfectly smooth. Leaving a few tiny pieces of nuts gives the finished cake a delicious crunchy texture.
🥜 Step 4: Add the Toppings
Lightly grease a small baking dish or ramekin and pour in the batter.
Smooth the surface, then generously sprinkle chopped pistachios, sliced almonds, and walnuts over the top.
Finish with a few thin slices of fresh apple and a light sprinkle of cinnamon.
🔥 Step 5: Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake for approximately 20–25 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out mostly clean.
Because baking dishes and ovens vary, start checking the cake around the 20-minute mark.
Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
😍 Time for the Best Part
Break the warm cake open and you’ll find a soft, moist apple center surrounded by little pieces of crunchy nuts.
The apple adds natural sweetness, cinnamon brings warmth, and the combination of pistachios, almonds, and walnuts makes every bite more satisfying.
Enjoy it warm on its own, or serve it with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey.
