Apple Pudding Cake

5 from 2 votes

This Apple Pudding Cake is a cozy, fall-inspired dessert made with tender apples baked into a soft, spiced cake. It’s topped with a warm pudding sauce—more like a buttery syrup—that soaks into each slice for extra richness. Originally shared by a friend over a decade ago, it’s become a seasonal favorite that’s too irresistible to make in full unless you’re ready to share!
