Apple honey cake is a simple fruit based cake. Cakes and biscuits are great desserts. However, cake need not be all creamy and chocolate. Fruit based cakes are a great dessert too. A great way to use surplus fruit is baking eggless apple muffins. This helps satisfy your toddler's cravings. It also helps me avoid chocolate based cake. Chocolate is reserved for special occasions. Especially, if you love having cakes but want to watch your weight. Bake a chocolate, creamy cake for special occasion.
Apple honey and cinnamon is a classic combination. Cinnamon powder gives it a great flavor. Honey means no need to add extra sugar. If you have a sweet tooth too, this cake is one you will make time and again. I love baking this cake as a muffin. It is great for tiffin especially if you have kids going to school. Goes perfectly in their bento box. Garnish it with seeds, walnuts or fruit slices whatever is your choice. Eggless apple muffins are soft and moist and perfect for that sweet craving.
