    📖 Variations

    • Chop the apples into small cubes instead of slices and stir into the cake batter instead of placing on top.
    • Substitute vanilla extract for the almond extract.
    • Toss the apples in brown sugar instead of white sugar.

    💭 Tips

    • Drizzle any of the cinnamon sugar liquid from the soaked apples into the same holes the apples are pressed into to add as much apple cinnamon flavor as possible.

      The apple almond loaf is good. I was going to see if there a way to make it moister.

        Hi Tany, Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed the recipe! Sometimes the apples used can make a difference in moistness, however a pound cake is a tighter texture so it's not like a regular cake. It sounds like you might want something other than a pound cake. Have you tried the Salted Caramel Apple Cake? That one might be closer to what you are looking for. Thanks again! ~Shelby

      This apple and almond loaf is heavenly. I love apples in just about anything but how wonderful to sit down with a cup of tea and a slice of this loaf? I think I should make this on the weekend.
