She points out how you don\u2019t have to peel the apples like you would with an apple crisp; rather, you can just throw them in a food processor or high-speed blender so the cake is filled with small pieces of apple crunch. Also, you only need one bowl to make this spice cake, which makes cleanup <em>so <\/em>much easier.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/vegan-apple-spice-cake\/\" current-title=\"This Easy Vegan Apple Spice Cake Recipe Is a Must-Have for Cozy Breakfasts To Come\" current-image=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/wellgood_placeholder_418x278_true_70.webp\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-07-01\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/vegan-apple-spice-cake\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/vegan-apple-spice-cake\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/vegan-apple-spice-cake\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But back to the cake itself.
