This vegan apple cinnamon cake recipe (no eggs, no dairy) is so easy to make, but looks impressive and tastes delicious! You'll fool your guests into thinking you crafted a complicated dessert. 

A cake that helps you get your seven servings of fruit and vegetables a day? Yes indeed! This recipe for vegan apple cinnamon cake combines two of my favourite foods - cake and fruit - in a very good way. Take a homemade vanilla cake base and swirl in a delicious mix of spicy cinnamon and sweet sugar. Top it with firm, sweet Organic Washington apple slices and bake. 

The result is an incredibly tasty, moist cake that's perfect for afternoon tea or evening dessert. May I suggest having a slice of this easy vegan apple cinnamon cake for breakfast as well? An apple a day and all that.

Organic Washington Apples

For this scrumptious little apple cake, I used Organic Washington Granny Smith apples. Washington State is one of the premier apple-growing areas in the world and the growing conditions make it an ideal region to grow organic apples.

Baked apples are a classic comfort food dessert. Add a crumbly, slightly sweet, crispy oatmeal topping and you have a suitably delicious alternative to apple pie, without the oil-laden pie crust. These baked apples with oatmeal crumble topping make for a healthy, delicious dessert that couldn't be simpler to make. And the recipe calls for a short list of handy ingredients. The result is very much like an apple crisp, with a little less fuss involved.

Organic Washington Apples

For this cozy baked apples recipe, I used Organic Washington apples in the Honeycrisp variety, but other firm, sweet apples like Organic Washington Granny Smith apples would work wonderfully too. Washington State is known as one of the premier apple-growing areas in the world and the growing conditions make Washington an ideal region to grow organic apples.

In my last post, I shared a recipe for easy vegan apple turnovers. These pockets of sweet apple goodness are delicious and so simple to make, with the help of puff pastry. But I didn't stop there, because yes, apple turnovers are easy to make, but a yummy apple dessert can be even easier and faster to prepare. If you've got a package of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls on the door of your fridge and Cosmic Crisp Washington Apples in the refrigerator crisper, you can have a tasty dessert ready in 20 minutes! These fast and easy vegan apple cinnamon crescent rolls are perfect for when you're feeling peckish on a dreary winter afternoon too.

These easy vegan apple turnovers made with puff pastry are so simple to prepare and they make delicious little "pies" that you can eat right from your hand!

Honestly I don't know why I didn't start making apple turnovers sooner. These easy vegan apple turnovers are so simple to prepare and they are delicious! Little "pies" that fit in your hand, turnovers make a  beautiful dessert for guests, especially warm and crispy, not long out of the oven (just wait for the filling to cool sufficiently). Apple turnovers with puff pastry are so easy to prepare that you need not reserve them for guests - homemade apple turnovers are a great everyday treat for you and your family too.

For the apple turnover filling, I used lovely, fresh Cosmic Crisp Washington apples. This large, juicy apple variety has a firm, crisp texture. Cosmic Crisp® apples are crispier and sweeter than other varieties, and naturally slow to brown. The Cosmic Crisp was classically bred at Washington State University and is non-GMO. Cosmic Crisp apples are perfect for snacking, cooking and baking, due to their sweetness and crispy texture.
