The. Best. Apple Cinnamon Cake. Ever!

The combination of apples and cinnamon is timeless, but the fact that this cake is so incredibly fluffy and oh-so-moist just really puts it over the top. It's a special kind of spongy that is also light and fluffy. The apples bring not only flavor and a moistness to the cake, but also bring texture.
