Simply demonstrated and not tediously showing every last cut of the knife as in other channels. Thank you!
Thank you! Your feedback means a lot to me. It motivate me even more to try making better contents♡
Yes, I agree 👍
I agree…my thoughts exactly! Perfect recipe will make it soon😋
Such easy and delicious cake. Baked it today and all my guests liked it. Thanks for the recipe!
So great to hear that! Thank you😊
This recipe is incredible.
I made the cake, ate three-quarters of it, barely managing to save one-quarter for Hubby. So, I had to turn it into a muffin recipe.
Then, I made muffins.
The dough wasn't easy to pack into the muffin tins.
Still a great muffin.
So, I made it again adding one-quarter cup of unsweetened almond milk. Easy to pack into tins, and still a fantastic muffin.
Two more bakings, the latest baking finds my muffin dough at: 2-apples, plus 480 grams of dried cranberries, walnuts, and pecans. I started using my food processor to get tiny apple and nut pieces of a size much more muffin-friendly.
Wildly incredible muffins.
All gone, gotta make more.
Tomorrow I'm going to try another version, chocolate.
I'll add one-quarter cup of Dutch-processed cocoa powder and remove two-tablespoons of flour.
I'm staying with 2 apples, plus 480 grams of cranberries, walnuts, and pecans.
Fingers crossed.
Phenomenal recipe.
This muffin makes all of those muffins found in specialty shops taste whimpy, weak, and light.
It makes one realize exactly what the difference is between a baked-for-profit muffin and a home baked muffin where you get to control the quality and quantity of ingredients.
Hubby and I record 1-to-5 Star Ratings on our recipes.
Hubby says, "I give this muffin 11 stars".
Chuckle, chuckle.
I say, "Give this muffin an International 2024 Food Award".
Thank you everyone at Spice It Up Recipes.
May 2024 be a very good year for you, and all those near and dear.
May it bring peace, kindness, and more humanity to all people everywhere.
Thank you so much for your incredibly heartwarming and detailed comment! Your enthusiasm and creativity in adapting the apple cake recipe into muffin variations are truly inspiring. It brings us immense joy to hear about your delightful baking journey.
Your adjustments and experiment with different ingredients showcase your culinary expertise. We are thrilled to hear that each version turned out fantastic.
Wishing you and your husband a wonderful 2024 filled with peace, love, and countless more baking adventures!
@@spiceitup888 PS- WARNING - DO NOT ADD COCOA POWDER. Hubby and neighbor liked it. I say it was disgusting.
No Matter, I now have this FANTASTIC Italian Apple Cake recipe, perfect for my apples, walnuts, pecans, and dried cranberry muffins.
Plus, muffins make it so easy to give some away.
Please, I'm no expert, I just can't stop myself from experimenting.
May 2024 bring more humanity to our needy planet.
Peace.

It's Easter 2024, and I'd like to wish all of you at Spice It Up the best of health, much happiness, and wonderful new beginnings.
I'm still at it, making muffins whenever my kitchen heat here in Puerto Rico allows.
Muffins are now 'my thing', I can share easily, I overindulge less, and your recipe is now known as My Muffin Recipe.
My Muffins are a favorite of my Hubby, my neighbor, my friend, Hubby's friends, and Hubby's relatives.
Again, many thanks for this phenomenal recipe.
@@valereehansen4378 Hello Valeree, that Super Thanks is a real Easter basket full of joy! Huge thank you for your generosity, it truly means a lot.
I'm so happy to hear your "Muffin Ministry" is thriving! Sounds like those muffins are spreading love and happiness all over Puerto Rico, that's fantastic! Wishing you, your husband and your family a blessed Easter filled with good health, joy, and of course, delicious food ♡
OMG! This is my high school best friend’s mom’s recipe ( Mexican ) But I add cinnamon, pecans and a little sugar on top before baking it. Powder sugar when it cools off. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So great to hear that! Thank you♡
Nice recipe. I made just half a portion of the recipe which was very easy to do and it turned out beautifully. I think the lemon juice and lemon zest really does the trick here. Recommended.
Thank you for your feedback! I am so happy you liked this recipe ♡

Well done!

I've now made this cake several times. Beautiful flavours and not too sweet.
Thank you. So glad you liked it!
Looks delicious
Thank you♡ Hope you enjoy it😋
That looks amazing!! I'm going to make it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Would love to hear how it goes♡
I made this last night, and it's gone already.
This morning hubby and I took the last two portions, broiled them in the toaster oven for 9 minutes to crispy brown, and slathered butter on top.
This was a lip smacking yummy treat with our morning coffee.
Tonight I'm going to make this again, but bake in muffin tins with parchment liners.
I can give some away and avoid eating the whole cake by myself.
Delicious and simple to prepare. I made this last night, and it is amazing with coffee in the morning.
Thank you for your feedback♡ Glad you liked it!
Made this cake absolutely delicious thank you so much 🎉
My pleasure😊 So great to hear that! Thank you.
This was so easy and delicious…Thank you ❤

Thank you! Would love to hear how it goes♡
@@spiceitup888 Hi, I am letting you know that I made the
Italian Apple Cake last night and it is very good. I might have used
just a little bit to much lemon juice but that is probably a matter
of personal taste and all lemons are different, some juicier than others.
It has a very nice flavor not to sweet. I am happy i got up the nerve to
try and make it. I really like this Cake and I will make it again.
Thank you so much,
Jeff❤❤❤❤
@@williamfahey6066 You’re most welcome! So great to hear that you like the cake! Thank you so much for letting me know☺
Lovely recipe -so many apples; it must be deliciously moist. Thank you!

You’re most welcome! Would love to hear how it goes.
How did your cake come out??
I made mine in a silicone loaf pan in the toaster oven. I did not get as much batter as in the video. I do weigh my ingredients, so that was not the difference. Mine came out much smaller than it shows in the video. It is a little oily too, again, I weighed the butter. I ate two slices only after being out of the oven 20 minutes. I could not resist, the smell was amazing. It tastes absolutely delicious! Thank you!
You’re most welcome! So glad you liked it.
作ってみます！
是非! Happy baking!!
Yummy, yummy, thanks...
So awesome to hear that♡ Glad you liked it!
'na bellezza, che bontà!! 🤩👌🏽
Grazie del tuo commento♡
@@spiceitup888 Ma di che! Grazie a lei per tutto il contenuto del video
Out to pick organic apples from my food forest tomorrow to make this cake. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Love apple cakes in the Autumn. Cheers
That sounds wonderful! Nature's bounty in a homemade dessert is hard to beat. Happy baking & Hope you enjoy the cake!
I'm glad I found you.
Thank you for this fantastic recipe.
Hubby does not like cakes and cookies.
HOWEVER, this is not a sicky-sweet cake recipe, it's a cake we can both enjoy.
Beautiful days...
I can't express how delighted I am to read your comment and know that you enjoyed Nonna's apple cake. It means a lot to me!
Your twist of broiling the portions with butter sounds absolutely delicious-I will definitely try that. I'm sure Nonna would be overjoyed to know that her recipe has reached beyond the small village where she lived, bringing happiness to people like you.
I love the idea of baking in muffin tins. That's a thoughtful way to share the goodness and avoid the temptation of eating the whole cake😊
Wishing you and your husband a beautiful holiday season!
I will just have to make this next!😊
Hope you will enjoy the cake. Happy baking!
Great music and the recipe looks incredibly easy.
So great to hear that! Thank you♡
Absolutely enchanting! Watching this video, I felt as if I were sitting in a sun-dappled Italian kitchen, surrounded by the comforting aromas of baking apples and lemon zest. The Torta di Mele is more than just a cake; it's a tapestry of sweet memories and family heritage. The way the cake's texture contrasts - from the crisp exterior to the cloud-soft, moist interior - is truly a celebration of the senses. And the family recipe passed down from your grandmother adds such a beautiful, personal touch. It's so much more than just the delicious ingredients; it's the love and history baked into each bite. Thank you for sharing this treasure with us; it's clear this cake is made with the most important ingredient of all - love. Can't wait to recreate these heartwarming flavors in my own kitchen! 🍏✨
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment! It means a lot. Our nonna would have been thrilled to know that her recipe is so much liked😊
Love to bake home made fres apples boild with brown sugar so no sugar in cake.😊😂❤🎉
Landed in your channel by accident and happy about it…making this torta tomorrow thank you!!!
You are most welcome! Happy cooking, and I look forward to hearing how your torta turns out😊
A very simple cake and it looks not too heavy from the apples.
Thank you! Would love to hear how it goes.
Looks beyond delicious! Definitely going to try this but with some plant-based butter and Just Egg as I have a family history of Cancer and need to avoid the estrogen in dairy and Choline in eggs--thanks for posting
Thank you for your comment! Would love to hear how it goes♡
This looks fantastic!
Thank you♡
Thank you so much for including American measurements. I’ve been wanting to make this cake, but so many of the recipes don’t provide measurements, I understand 👍🙏
You’re most welcome! Would love to hear how it goes.
The quality of your videos are highly appeasing and at angles i terribly wish MOST bakers would allow us to see
So glad you liked them. It meams a lot. Thank you!!
Very nice.. will make this for my boyfriend as a surprise because he is crazy about apple cakes, thank you
You are most welcome! Hope you and your boyfriend like the cake♡

Or custard, perhaps?
Zimt & Apfel harmony, right ✅️
Also werde ich Zimt hinzufügen

Would love it as a desert with custard
Thanks! Would love to hear how it goes.
I would definitely add spices to the apple mixture though.😊

感謝您分享這麼棒的食譜！請問您若我想做成6吋和杯子蛋糕的大小，烤製的溫度和時間該如何調整較適當？
感谢您的评论。在 6 英寸的平底锅中使用相同数量的面糊并不理想。
这里有两个方案可供参考：
方案 1：减少面糊用量：
将配方减少 25%。这将确保面糊能舒适地放入 6 英寸的平底锅中，并能在与原配方相似的时间内完成烘烤。
使用相同的烘烤温度，从 40-45 分钟开始，最后用牙签检查是否熟透。
方案 2：用纸杯蛋糕烘烤完整食谱：
这是在不调整配料的情况下使用完整食谱的好方法。
- 使用相同的烘烤温度。
- 在纸杯蛋糕内衬中注入约 2/3 的面糊。
- 烘烤时间约为 20-25 分钟，直至用牙签插入纸杯蛋糕中心取出干净为止。
希望您喜欢这款蛋糕！

Thank you!
The pan you used from Amazon, doesn’t come up on the link. Are you using a higher sided pan than the standard 8” round baking pan?
Thank you for your comment. Sorry, I revised the link and it should now be available to view. But any 8 x 3 round baking pan should do. Hope you will enjoy the cake♡
Thank you, ordered it!
@@meezerthyme Thank you♡
PLEASE!!!!! Subtitulos en Español!!!!! Gracias, desde Argentina... 💖💜💖💜💖💜
Ahora deberías poder ver el subtítulo en español. Enjoy!
I just made this. I did not add any other of my usual apple spices ie cinnamon, allspice because they would overpower the lemon.
So, if you make it "as is" and you want those spices, a simple powdered sugar glaze can give you that.
It's my plan for the spice lovers. And pecans, too!
Spot on! Thank you for your comment♡
Yum yum Love this so Simple as is All Italian Food Best Cuisine in the world 👩🍳⚘🥂
Can’t wait to try this recipe ~ Also, what is the song playing in your video?
So glad you enjoyed the video! Happy baking to you♡
The song is called Investor Night by Anonyment.
@@spiceitup888 Thanks so much for responding 😊
@@lisalang7096 You are most welcome!
I would add mixed spice and cinnamon
🤗🥰
Thank you♡
I just made this. Delicious. Excellent video, clearly demonstrated
One tiny criticism, and I do appreciate using metric as well for the rest of us, but could you perhaps scale the recipe so it makes sense? Why 210g of flour, which is pretty precise when the measurement in cups seems to be a little random to say the least
Thank you for your feedback! I understand your point and appreciate your suggestion to scale the recipe in a more standardized way.
My grandmother's approach to cooking was rather rough, what Italian call "all’occhio". She roughly measured ingredients with her eyes, and she somehow managed to result the same delicious taste of many meals😅
It's also important to provide precise measurements for those who prefer more accuracy (like me!) in cooking. I will definitely take your feedback into consideration for future recipes. Thanks again for your input.
@@spiceitup888 thanks for replying. I do like a bit more precision than a cup of flour, but seriously 210g is pretty difficult to weigh out.
Your nonna was clearly a legend
I weigh everything now if it’s needed. I started doing this after I started a sour dough starter during the COVID pandemic. It’s so accurate.
@@Jaylo1954 Thank you for commenting. Homemade sourdough bread sounds great! I should try it too♡
I make just now
Would love to hear how it goes. Happy baking!
What kind of applies does everyone use?
Thank you for commenting! I normally use Cosmic Crisp or Envy if I can find them. I like the natural sweetness, juiciness, and texture. Hope you will enjoy this cake♡
Is it possible to substitute wheat flour with another type?
Yes, you can substitute wheat flour with other types of flour. However, the type of flour you use will affect the texture, flavor, and overall outcome of the cake. I have tried tapioca/rice flour mix, and it was different from the original cake but tasted quite good.
Is in the oven right now. Let's see later
❤🎄🙏🎁🎅
I'd add a little cinnamon too
1:10 what’s in the bowl you add the apples to???
In the bowl where I added the apple slices, you'll find lemon zest that I had previously zested. I hope you enjoy the cake. Happy baking!
@@spiceitup888Great. Thank you! I will definitely it. ❤
🙂👍🤝🔔
Thank you♡
🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻
Thank you!
I`m going to try this; can you use oil instead of butter?
Yes, you can use oil in place of butter (Expect a different texture and less buttery flavor). Generally, you can use 75% of the amount of oil as butter. Hope you will enjoy the cake. Happy baking!
@@spiceitup888 Hi, thanks for the reply. I made the cake yesterday & I did use oil instead of butter, it came out delicious & it was easy recipe to make. Your Nonna would be proud of you. Next I`m going to bake your orange cake recipe, both apples & oranges are in season now.
@@sportshockey5430 Thank you so much. It means a lot!
@@spiceitup888 Aw, you're greatly welcome.
Hi there just wondering if this can be made with pears? Has anyone tried?
Hi there! Pears can be delicious in cakes. If you'd like to use them, I have another apple cake recipe that's perfect for pears: ruclips.net/video/Q3bnOqnS9Ic/видео.html
Happy baking!
I add cinnamon
Feel free to add your favorite spices if you prefer, but I suggest to try this refreshing version with lemon. It might just become a new favorite! Happy baking, and I hope you enjoy the unique flavors of this Torta di Mele.
Late to the party here, but is that 600 g of apples before coring and peeling?
Yes, that's correct! It's 600g of apples before coring and peeling. Hope you enjoy the cake!
Thank you!
❤❤
Thank you for your feedback♡
Traduzcan recetas en español !!!
What type are apple are being used? They all taste different.
I use Cosmic Crisp, Envy or Fuji if I can find them. I like the natural sweetness, juiciness, and texture. Hope you will enjoy this cake!
Is half cup sugar enough for this much flour?
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
I'm thrilled to know that many people have found this recipe to have the perfect level of sweetness, however, I am aware that taste preferences can vary from person to person. Please try the recipe, and feel free to adjust the sugar to your liking if you prefer a sweeter outcome. Happy baking!
how many does this recipe serve?
It typically serves 8, but the number of servings can vary based on how you cut and portion it. I must admit, it's so delicious that I often find myself indulging in 2 slices at a time! Happy baking♡
I would like to do this cake but l don't like eggs can l please use something else
Many thanks 🙏
A few common egg replacements for baking are, commercial egg replacers (like Just Egg, or Bob's Red Mill), unsweetened applesauce, or yogurt. I haven't personally tried these substitutes, they are commonly used in baking as egg replacements according to various sources and recommendations. Please keep in mind that using egg substitutes may slightly alter the texture and flavor of your cake, but it should still turn out delicious. Happy baking!
-'Do you Think'!??- it would be possible to add some sour cream or cream cheese to this!!??--('LOOKS LOVELY'-!!??)))
Thank you for your comment. While I prefer to enjoy the simplicity of this recipe as is, adding sour cream/cream cheese could be a tasty addition for those who want to experiment with the flavors. Feel free to try it out and let me know how it turns out for you. Happy cooking!
What type of apples?
I like to use Cosmic Crisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith. I hope you enjoy the cake!
Tart apple or just any apple?
Thank you for commenting! Any apples that are crisp, firm, sweet-tart will do. Hope you will enjoy this cake♡
I would use a tart baking apple. Using just any apple might result in flavorless mush in the cake. But that's just me and I do love tart apples.
Is there a reason you don't post the whole recipe in written for or a link to the whole recipe?
Hi Bill! I appreciate your interest in having the recipes in written form. It's on my radar, and I plan to eventually post them on a blog or in written form as time permits. I can't provide an exact timeline, but stay tuned for future updates. Happy baking!
I added cinnamon
