"French Apple Cake Loaf is a moist loaf cake filled with fresh apples. It is perfect for breakfast, afternoon tea or a snack. This is a very simple recipe and bakes in 30 minutes with only 10 minutes prep time. This recipe makes two smaller apple cakes but freezes very well so you can enjoy another one later. Pears can be substituted for the apples to change things up and make a whole different cake. Either way, it's delicious! "

NotesThis makes two smaller loaves so one can be frozen for later if desired.

Any apples can be used but I prefer Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Winesap, and Pink Lady because they hold their shape well in this cake.
