Yes! Apple cake freezes well. Simply wrap the cooled cake in a layer of storage wrap, then in a layer of aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for up to three months.
How to Freeze Apple Cake
If youd like to keep apple cake for a more extended period, you can freeze it. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, or use an airtight freezer container. Frozen apple cake can last up to 3 to 4 months. To thaw, you can place it in the refrigerator overnight or leave it at room temperature for a few hours.
When it comes to baking with apples, the rule of thumb is to use firm varieties since theyll hold up better while baking. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples to balance the tart and sweet flavors but feel free to use any other firm apples you have on hand. The key is to slice them into about ¼ inch thick slices, so you get a little bit of apple in every bite.
What kind of apples are best for baking cakes?
When baking cakes that call for apples, the type of apple you choose can impact the texture and flavor of the cake. Some apples hold their shape well during baking, while others become softer and mushier. Here are some popular apple varieties that are commonly used for baking cakes:
Granny Smith: These apples are known for their tartness and firm texture, which holds up well during baking. Theyre great for balancing sweet cake batters.
Honeycrisp: A sweeter apple that still maintains its shape when baked, Honeycrisp apples are juicy and flavorful.
Fuji: Known for their sweetness, Fuji apples are often used in desserts. They can become quite soft when baked, so they might be best combined with a firmer apple variety if you prefer some texture.
Golden Delicious: These apples are sweet and soft, and they blend well into the cake, providing moisture and sweetness without overwhelming tartness.
