The recipe for spoon apple cake is convenient to prepare because you don’t use the scale as the ingredients are measured with the spoon… fantastic, right?!
When you crave a dessert and have little time available, or an unexpected invitation to dinner and no time to stop by the pastry shop, this is the ideal cake. The ingredients are mixed all together in a bowl, without any tools but only with the help of a spoon. The cooking of this recipe is in an air fryer, and it can also be baked in a traditional oven. As a mold, I used a square non-stick pan 9×9 inches, but if you want a slightly taller cake, you can replace it with a round pan of 8 inches.
The spoon apple cake is perfect for any occasion. Its soft and creamy texture makes it ideal as a dessert at the end of a meal, but it is also great for breakfast and a healthy snack for the little ones.
The spoon apple cake is my favorite apple cake. I call it the all-apple cake… because it requires 4 or 5 apples (depending on the size of the apples) sliced thinly and very little flour… but let’s prepare it together!!

I recommend starting to prepare all the ingredients in the bowl except for the apples, to prevent them from turning dark during preparation and the baking powder.
