I love this homemade apple cake recipe from the owner of Studmuffin Desserts, Chef Seth Raphaeli. This apple cake made from scratch is moist, easy, and delightful! It is a grand-mère pomme gâteau also known as his grandmother’s apple cake!  Don’t let the fancy French words scare you.  I saw Chef Seth Raphaeli whip this up in minutes on Home & Family which airs weekdays at 10 am ET/PT on Hallmark Channel.  I was given permission to share the recipe with my readers.

    • You could, but olive oil has a stronger flavor than grape seed oil. You could also use coconut oil.
