Apple Cinnamon Lasagna Cake is a perfect snack cake, quick and easy to make, moist, and I consider it a family favorite. No frosting, bakes in a loaf pan, and easy to transport if you are contributing to a party. Why not make two and freeze one? Or share with your neighbor? It's an awesome cake to bring to a picnic! —ChewWannaEat?

-
In a standard 5” x 9” loaf pan, butter the sides and bottom. Optional: Sprinkle Cinnamon/Sugar mix on bottom and sides of pan. Pour in approximately ¾” batter to cover the bottom of pan and sprinkle about 1/3 of the walnuts on top. Add half of remaining batter, sprinkle half of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture, half the apples, and about 1/3 the walnuts on top. Add remaining batter, remaining brown sugar/cinnamon mixture, remaining apples, and the last of the walnuts. Press lightly with your fingers or a fork to embed the toppings. You don’t want them falling off later.

BAKE at 350°F for about 40-42 minutes. Use toothpick test. The top will be golden brown and if you used a glass loaf pan, you’ll be able to see that the sides are a nice rich brown.
