There are days when you want dessert but your energy level says “meh.” That’s when this 3-ingredient apple cake steps up like an old friend. It’s the dessert I make when the fruit bowl's got one too many apples and my pantry’s just barely stocked. If you’ve got self-rising flour, eggs, and apples, well—congratulations. You’ve already won the no-effort dessert game. This cake reminds me of cozy autumn evenings, but the truth? It hits just as well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in June. The texture is tender, lightly spiced from the apples, and just sweet enough to feel like a reward—not a regret. Whether you’re baking with kids, on a snack mission, or trying to impress absolutely no one (hi, it's me), this cake covers you. No mixer. No fuss. Just three ingredients, one bowl, and about 40 minutes to a warm slice of joy. This is not a miracle cake. It’s just good, honest baking. And I’m telling you—it works.
