The apple cake with raisins and pine nuts is a soft dessert that I prepared for tomorrow morning’s breakfast 🙂
Apple is one of my favorite fruits that I consume every day, and since I have a few to use up, I made jams, fruit salads, and now I dedicated myself to the preparation of a dessert.
This apple cake is enriched with raisins and pine nuts.
If you don’t have fresh ginger and cinnamon, you can use powdered ones.
It came out not very sweet because I added little sugar, but those who prefer can increase the amount.
As soon as it came out of the oven, I wanted to taste it to see how it came out: what can I say? It’s delicious, so here is the recipe for you to try it too 😉
