Anyone else love fall as much as I do? It\u2019s the best season ever. I seriously cannot wait! My husband thinks I\u2019m crazy because I actually don\u2019t like summer. At all. If I\u2019m away on vacation and somewhere tropical, I like it to be sunny and hot, but otherwise I\u2019ll take my overcast days and mild temps thankyouverymuch.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

Nothing quite screams coziness like the colors of autumn, crisp air, and of course, fall baking<\/a>. As such, I\u2019m kicking off the not-quite-fall season with today’s cake. \u00a0If you\u2019ve been following along with my posts for The Cake Blog, you know I\u2019ve been having a lot of fun coming up with creative ways<\/a> to\u00a0turn desserts<\/a>\u00a0into layer cakes<\/a>. So this month I\u2019ve tackled the Apple Pie Cake!<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

With this Apple Pie Cake, I wanted to make sure there was some element of pie crust in there, since – let\u2019s be honest – it\u2019s not really apple pie without it. Plus, pie crust is delicious. I added two discs of baked pie dough in between the cake layers and also added baked pie crust cut-outs as decoration. \u00a0Then there’s the woven lattice that wraps around the base of the cake and the pie crust braid that encircles the top like a crown. \u00a0Because every good pie-inspired cake deserves a pie crust crown!<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

Now I must give you a word of warning. \u00a0If you plan to attempt the woven pie crust lattice, give yourself a LOT of time (and patience). It\u2019s not the easiest thing to make and I had to MacGyver a contraption that would allow me to bake it on its side. I contemplated baking a couple of long lattice pieces along the outside of a cake ring placed onto a sheet pan, but I worried that the lattice would lose its shape as it baked and not look so pretty. So I decided to place the cake ring<\/a> on its side and bake sections that way.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

After many, many attempts, I finally had a few good sections of lattice that I could place around the cake. Some of them broke a bit when I was applying them to the cake, but you wouldn\u2019t be able to tell. I\u2019ve tried to detail the process as much as possible in the recipe below, so hopefully it\u2019s clear. \u00a0If you\u2019d like a similar effect without all of the effort, you can skip the lattice and just go for the fall cut-outs and braid on top. If you\u2019re feeling ambitious and want a showstopper, definitely go for the lattice.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

All of the effort was totally worth it. I love how this cake turned out, in both look and flavor. It tastes just like an apple pie! But better, because it\u2019s a cake! The pie crust between the layers is a must-do in my opinion, and an easy addition that gives another dimension of flavor and texture. \u00a0If you love Apple Pie (and really, who doesn\u2019t), you will love this cake.<\/p>\n
