Easy Apple Cake

Hello my dear friends, I am back from Kerala after a short vacation. Had a lovely time there, enjoyed a lot and now with a lot of holiday hangover, I am back to my daily routine.

In the meanwhile, I tried making this apple cake, which is very easy to prepare and bakes quickly. This will be loved by all, as my parents who does not have too much of a sweet teeth also loved this and were not stopping with one or two. I grew up eating the vanilla cake which my mom used to make and in those days, there was not much of such special fruit cake preparations. 

Recently, as there were so many apples left over at home,  I thought of giving it a try and made this as I had a recipe ready in hand. This is a very easy and simple cake within minutes.
