For those looking for an answer: my apples had almost no liquid at all left after roasting and the batter looked much thicker than Claire's, so I added a 1/2 cup of apple juice to the mixture. It came out wonderfully moist and tender. My guests went for seconds and absolutely devoured this cake in one sitting.
Thank you! My cakes were so dry! No liquid after roasting at all. I will absolutely be adding applied juice next time. Mine lacked sweetness haha and I added the right amount as I use a scale to measure everything. So hopefully the sugar in the apple juice will help.
I had some apples I did not know what to make. I made this cake this weekend and I did use light brown sugar. My adult children thought it was a little weird looking, but my husband has been devouring it. I just got a mandoline slicer for Christmas. It takes a little bit of practice to use, but I am glad I did not have to cut all the apples by hand. It is a great recipe, and I will be making this cake again. I enjoy your videos and I am glad my daughter had told me about you.
Happy New Year Claire! I have been watching your channel for 2 years now and I love all of your recipes so far! Thank you so much for these baking videos! They have helped with baking around the house so much! Thank you!
Claire, I’ve been a follower for years, I just bought both of your books! I’m moving to Alaska with my husband for a two-year contract, and my plan is to take one year to cook through each book! I can’t wait to start my baking journey with your books ❤❤❤
Just made this and it is SO GOOD. Not too sweet, apples are soft but not mushy, cake itself is moist without being stodgy or wet, and I love the slightly crispy outer shell that forms on top and balances out the soft interior. An amazing fall bake that is definitely taking a prominent place in my recipe book. Thank you Claire!!
i saw this video last night and i woke up this morning and immediately baked this cake. it’s the first recipe ive made from what’s for dessert, and it was SO delicious. the flavor of the roasted apples was so good, i think i could just eat the apples 😂 thank you!
This recipe was so easy it's incredible! We already had some pre-roasted apples that no one seemed to eat, so I just chopped them up and put them in the batter. It's in the oven right now, but I tried a bit of the dough and it is delicious in itself, so I know it will be scrumptious. Thank you so much Claire and Dessert Person
Hey Claire! I’m on Christmas break from college and I swear all I’ve done this past month is watch all your youtube videos. I’m obsessed! Love your personality and skills.
Just made this today! I was a bit worried since my batter looked a bit thicker than in the video but it turned out wonderfully. Smells and tastes great! The apples are perfectly soft. You get that slight crunch on the top from the sugar and a super fluffy interior. Best apple cake recipe I've tried! I think it would be great for special occasions and everyday :) thank you Claire for sharing
Every time I make something with your recipe, it works so well, and I always feel so happy even when something went wrong. I can't thank you enough!! Thanks a lot Claire
I made this for a workmate's birthday and have since passed this video as a recipe on to two people. Safe to say it was a hit! It's so moist yet so light.
I find so much comfort on Claire's content, whenever I'm having a bad day or if the anxiety is bad I just put on a Claire video and it all goes away :) This is my happy place 💙
I made this today. Tweaked it a little bit because I made half the recipe and also I know I like things sweeter so I doubled the sugar. Man oh man THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLE easy and delicious snaking cake to have in the afternoon by the pool drinking mate (I'm from Argentina and it's summer here lol) so thanks again, Claire and team, I'm a fan forever.
That’s a great suggestion to increase the sugar, Lala Beatriz, because I know I like things sweet too. Thanks for letting us know how it turned out! ~Diana K.
Love all of Claire's recipes and videos. I always learn something and I know these recipes are perfection! The crumb and moistness of this apple cake is just incredible!
Love your videos Claire! I know this may not be the intended purpose but your videos have such a calming affect if i’m needing something soothing to watch. Thank you ❤
This cake taught me the hard way that my springform pan is NOT water-tight. The apple-honey juices leaked right through it, lmao (didnt help that my baking paper wasnt wide enough for it)
Good day! About 3 minutes ago I took this cake out and now... the waiting game. Recent fan; first recipe made; far from first lesson/recipe watched. Made one mod: used turbinado sugar. I removed 1 T of that from the 1/2C and added 1 T of light brown sugar. House smells like "I WANT"
Just made this, it's so so good. I replace 50 g of the flour with whole wheat flour as I plan on having it for breakfast and it worked out lovely. I only had an 8x3 round pan so I put the extra batter into 2 4 oz ramekins that I plan to suprise my friend with when we hang out tomorrow. Overall, lovely recipe
I made it today with all white flour, and I was thinking adding some whole grain would be even better. Glad to hear it worked, I'll try that next time!
Hi Claire! Love your videos! Any plans for an Amazon shopping list of all of your favorite baking pans, tools, gadgets…necessities? An “add all to cart” option is a must! 😊
Claire I was having so much anxiety watching you use the madolin..ugh i know you are a pro, I have cut myself on them only twice, but both times it put the fear of death in me. I use a guard now or a glove. But i want to go make this cake right now! drooling..
I made it today and used a mandolin for 1/2 the apples and hand cut for the other half. Hand cutting was not that difficult…a bit thicker, but definitely doable.
I just got your book for Christmas and I made the marbled cake this week for a birthday as my first recipe from "What's for Dessert". Thanks Claire and Team!!
I was gifted a copy of Dessert Person for Christmas and I am so excited to read through all your recipes and try a few of them. Your videos are such a delight!
Wow, this would be a really great recipe for my mom! She had kidney failure and because of her renal diet she's not supposed to have dairy in excess amounts. I'll be sure to look back at this one!!!
Oh my gosh apple cake. Now I need to go to the store. My one problem is there isn’t anything Claire makes that I don’t love, and I keep needing to feed my addiction. I agree about Rosh Hashanah, that was the second thought that came to mind the first was I need to go to the store lol
Happy New, Claire! I am a longtime fan, I’ve watched you since your BA days and immediately started watching your journey from NYT appearances to dessert person. I love your personality and ability to make even the most abysmal want-to-be beaker, such as myself feel like a pastry Genius.❤ My question: is it safe to use Lemon oil and if so, would it be a good substitute for olive oil?
I was gifted What’s for dessert as a Christmas present, I’m so excited to try everything ☺️ I got dessert person last year. I still haven’t finished baking everything but I hope to this year!
I'm making this for the first time now. After roasting my apples until tender (1 hour 10 mins), I wasn't left with any pooling juices... can you approximate how much liquid there should be? Because I don't have any liquid left, would you recommend adding some milk or maybe apple juice to the batter to compensate? I also used Pink Lady apples... Thanks!
got a horrible mandolin cut when working in a restaurant on my wrist. I was using the scallop blade, pretty gnarly!! I recommend using a little dishcloth to hold the thing you are slicing for extra safety
I got a copy of "What's For Dessert?" for Christmas and can't wait to make this one! I'm gonna go with Honeycrisp apples as they have become my go-to apple for baking. This looks so good!
I am a huge fan and I have been following you for at least 4 years, watch every video. I made this cake not long ago and it was quite bad :( it could be that I did something wrong, but the texture and color was perfect and it really looked yummy, when I tasted the cake tho the flavour of olive oil was really overpowering and super dominant above everything else including apples...maybe my apples weren't tasty enough,... I dunno :( will try another recipe soon tho!! still love your channel :)
I made this using fresh honeycrisp apples from a local orchard. Their texture when cooked was perfect for this cake: tender but pliable. Caveat: because honeycrisp apples are only faintly tart, I held back a bit on the honey. I only ended up using half of the honey asked for. Next time I will use almost all of the honey specified by the recipe (or maybe all of it) because the honey aroma and flavor was weak. I think a little more sweetness would be welcomed in my case, too. Overall this is a nice cake, despite my modification!
This reminds me of a White Miso Apple Cake recipe I tried in 2021, can't wait to give this a shot, especially since it is dairy free, and may take a GF flour blend well.
I made this. It was easy to make and very, very good. Ate it for breakfast, dessert, and in between. Question for Claire: My apples didn't make as much juice as yours did, and the cake was little dry at first. It did become more moist as time went on. Is there a recommended amount of juice to add to the batter? Thanks :-)
Claire said, "You need a mandolin". My brain interpreted it as, "You need Amanda Lynn". Lol Oh well, maybe she can name her daughter that. Lol Great looking cake. Will make it. Happy New Year Claire!
Claire is SO EXACT and so invested in precision, but nothing she bakes feels fussy or ornamented in an annoying way. She's such a gem!
For those looking for an answer: my apples had almost no liquid at all left after roasting and the batter looked much thicker than Claire's, so I added a 1/2 cup of apple juice to the mixture.

I'm going to be watching the window for easter eggs forever in this new kitchen.
Is that window even a window at all 🤔
But it's only January...
So here for these simple, hand mixed recipes!
I had some apples I did not know what to make. I made this cake this weekend and I did use light brown sugar. My adult children thought it was a little weird looking, but my husband has been devouring it. I just got a mandoline slicer for Christmas.

What a beautiful cake! Love that you use the same pan to cook apples and bake cake! Can’t wait to try this recipe!! Thank you Claire!!

Same!!!
I made this today scaled down to half and it turned out fantastic! My family was very doubtful and even they loved it.
What a great Rosh Hashanah recipe! Love that it's parve.

My pleasure 😊
Thanks a lot for the reply!! It means a lot💖
L’Shana Tova! I’m about to make this cake for Rosh Hashana tomorrow and I am thrilled!
I'm making this this week, it gives a lot of fall vibes 🥰
I made this for a workmate's birthday and have since passed this video as a recipe on to two people. Safe to say it was a hit! It's so moist yet so light.
loved the visual layout for cracking four eggs in this video!
I was given this new book for Christmas and plan this cake as my first foray.
I find so much comfort on Claire's content, whenever I'm having a bad day or if the anxiety is bad I just put on a Claire video and it all goes away :) This is my happy place 💙
Claire is my anxiety escape as well. She seems like such a kind human ❤
Claire: Thank you so much for a specifically non-dairy dessert! Happy 2023🌟
I'm lactose intolerant and this is a dream for me. Definitely going to be making this one!
I made this today. Tweaked it a little bit because I made half the recipe and also I know I like things sweeter so I doubled the sugar.

That’s a great suggestion to increase the sugar, Lala Beatriz, because I know I like things sweet too. Thanks for letting us know how it turned out! ~Diana K.
I am thinking about halfing the recipe too, did you make it in a different type of pan? I was thinking of making it in a loaf pan
@@Alexhaskins I made it in a 16 cm ring. It came out like 8 cm tall
Excited to try this my self, well done as always Claire!
Ps, can we get a super cut of your verdict clips from 2022? Keep up the great work!
This is as great as Claire makes it sound, and mine actually looked as beautiful as hers! All the kudos.
Love all of Claire's recipes and videos. I always learn something and I know these recipes are perfection! The crumb and moistness of this apple cake is just incredible!
omg that winter wonderland in the window mesmerized me XD i thought it was real!
Love your videos Claire! I know this may not be the intended purpose but your videos have such a calming affect if i’m needing something soothing to watch. Thank you ❤
This turned out delicious!!! It's well worth the time cutting and roasting the apples 😋
That could have so easily come out soggy that's great the pre roasting. It's like cooked cake right up to the edge of the apple that looks soooo good!
coincidentally already snacking on apples with honey.. gonna make this right now :) thanks for sharing another great recipe. :)
This cake taught me the hard way that my springform pan is NOT water-tight. The apple-honey juices leaked right through it, lmao
(didnt help that my baking paper wasnt wide enough for it)
Mess up everything is the funny part of baking! 🤣 Try again brave baker!

I just had to make this! It’s in the oven now, and my home smells of sweet apples and delicious spices ❤️
Amazing! I have tried many an apple cake, and roasting first had never occurred to me. I love the honey touch too. Thank you.
Hi Claire! Love your videos! Any plans for an Amazon shopping list of all of your favorite baking pans, tools, gadgets…necessities? An “add all to cart” option is a must! 😊
My wallet would be so ruined if she does this. Fingers crossed!
She already did a video on essentials, that may be helpful for you
That title made my mouth water already
Omg I just baked this cake and it is so delicious!!! Thank you Claire for such an amazing recipe ❤ I will make it again for sure!
I received your beautiful book from my wonderful daughter for Christmas! Can’t wait t try this delicious cake recipe! I love apples.
This looks SO delicious. And doable! Thanks Claire!!!
Shanah Tovah (almost)! Thank you for the recipe, I can’t wait to try it.
Claire I was having so much anxiety watching you use the madolin..ugh i know you are a pro, I have cut myself on them only twice, but both times it put the fear of death in me. I use a guard now or a glove. But i want to go make this cake right now! drooling..

I love how much fresh fruit you use in your recipes. I like the healthier approach. (Of course you use a lot of sugar too😂😂)
It's the perfect winter cake!
I was gifted a copy of Dessert Person for Christmas and I am so excited to read through all your recipes and try a few of them. Your videos are such a delight!
Wow, this would be a really great recipe for my mom! She had kidney failure and because of her renal diet she's not supposed to have dairy in excess amounts. I'll be sure to look back at this one!!!
Ohhh this reminds me a lot of a cake my granny used to make all the time ❤
Happy New Year Claire! Another yummy dessert! Loved your hair up!
Oh my gosh apple cake. Now I need to go to the store. My one problem is there isn’t anything Claire makes that I don’t love, and I keep needing to feed my addiction. I agree about Rosh Hashanah, that was the second thought that came to mind the first was I need to go to the store lol
Sounds amazing, will definitely try this! Already made a lot of your recipes and all of them have been amazing so far
Claire: That cake looks scary good. I want a piece so badly. Thanks for showing us how to make it.
Thank you Claire
You always make most beautiful pastries and they are so amazing and like piece of art ❤
this looks so pretty and i love apples so much, definitely gonna buy your book!!!!
Turbinado sugar is very similar to Demerara and is easier to find.
This is a keeper for me -it’s delish - thank you Claire
Happy New Year! Amazing video I really enjoyed it! The cake looked SOOOO DELICIOUS!!!!
Happy New, Claire! I am a longtime fan, I’ve watched you since your BA days and immediately started watching your journey from NYT appearances to dessert person.

Legit going to go make this right now. I love it when I just have the ingredients already. 😊
Looks delicious 🍎🍏😍 can’t wait to make this recipe ❤️

reminds me of gateau invisible but way easier! thanks claire!!
got a horrible mandolin cut when working in a restaurant on my wrist. I was using the scallop blade, pretty gnarly!! I recommend using a little dishcloth to hold the thing you are slicing for extra safety
I’d love to make a vegan version of this!! Does anyone know what kind of egg substitute might work best for this cake?
Flax or chia seed
I got a copy of "What's For Dessert?" for Christmas and can't wait to make this one! I'm gonna go with Honeycrisp apples as they have become my go-to apple for baking. This looks so good!
favorite thing about thursday ☺️☺️
Ah, the apple cake - kids' favorite. :)) Love it as an adult though
I am a huge fan and I have been following you for at least 4 years, watch every video.

will try another recipe soon tho!! still love your channel :)
“A little bit of breakdown is ok” - Claire, always wise
Patreon sounds awesome!
That looks absolutely delicious
I knew theres a reason why i have so many apples around, now i know what to do with them today!!

I think a little more sweetness would be welcomed in my case, too. Overall this is a nice cake, despite my modification!
Sounds like a great recipe. Takes care of what I think are the drawbacks of putting fresh, uncooked fruit in a cake.
Yay! Can’t wait to make this one ❤ Thank you, Claire!!
Great timing, I baked a similar cake earlier on today with Pink Lady apples and a soft olive oil cake batter (without the spices)
love these videos so much. i got your first cookbook for christmas and am so excited about it!
This reminds me of a White Miso Apple Cake recipe I tried in 2021, can't wait to give this a shot, especially since it is dairy free, and may take a GF flour blend well.
This recipe is so... "Claire"! Reminds me of your delicious carrot cake... Can't wait to try it!
Best cake I ever made took me 3 hours 😅 but worth every bite
Claire,please teach us how to make apple butter and apple sauce!!!
Wow! It looks like something Dale Chihuly would pull out of a fire. ♥
I made this. It was easy to make and very, very good. Ate it for breakfast, dessert, and in between. Question for Claire: My apples didn't make as much juice as yours did, and the cake was little dry at first. It did become more moist as time went on. Is there a recommended amount of juice to add to the batter? Thanks :-)
Please clear my Thursday, I have a very important cake to bake! 🍎
Happy New Year 🥳. Could you use pears and red wine vinegar? I can not have apples.
Thank you kindly Ann🦋
Sounds so delicious and perfect ❤and amazing
Claire said, "You need a mandolin". My brain interpreted it as, "You need Amanda Lynn". Lol Oh well, maybe she can name her daughter that. Lol Great looking cake. Will make it. Happy New Year Claire!
SO EXCITED!!! ❤
Can we bring back #iwoulddieforclaire because I truly believe her baked goods could save America
Greetings,
Could one use melted butter? Also, how much apple "juices" would one expect to have?
Cheers 🍷
Upstate NY
NGL. Buying a 9" spring form pan so I can make this a ton. Also.. maybe trying to swap in pears!
YOUR THE BEST CLAIRE! The most greatest and amazing person ever so appreciate you so much and special ❤
Have you ever had Joanne Chang's Apple Snacking Cake? They sell it at her cafe chain in Boston, Flour! This sounds so much like it!
Nice
