Apple cake with icing is a traditional dessert that has accompanied many families throughout generations. It originated in Europe, where the abundance of apples in season led to the creation of recipes that highlight this sweet and juicy fruit. In Latin America, although it is commonly known as "pastel de manzana," it also goes by other names depending on the country, such as "apple pie" in Mexico or "apple tart" in South American countries. Its simplicity and homemade flavor have made it a classic in baking, especially for family and festive celebrations.
This cake is characterized by its combination of fresh apples with an icing that provides a smooth texture and a sweet touch that enhances its flavor. In each region, small variations in the ingredients or presentation make this recipe unique, but it always maintains that traditional charm that defines it.
