Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8 inches square cake tin with parchment paper. Set it aside.
Cream butter and sugar together till light and fluffy. About 2-3 mns. Add egg and beat it in.
Now stir in freshly grated apples, vanilla and all the spices.
Sift flour, baking soda and salt over wet ingredients and fold in to form batter. Do not over mix. Batter will be thick.

How do I know when my apple cake is done?
When baked the apple cake will pull away from the sides of pan. And will be slightly springy to touch in the middle. It will also pass the toothpick test.
How long does Apple Cake keep?
Usually fruity cakes contain a ton of moisture. Apple cake will keep well at room temperature stored at room temp, covered tightly. And in the fridge for 5 days.
For longer storage freeze the cake in air tight container for up to 2 months.
Best Apples for baking:
I used a Red delicious and a Granny Smith for this apple cake. All crispy and tart apples work well in baking.
Fuji apples, Pink Lady, Honey Crisps and Gala Apples hold strong in baking too!
