    When I received an apple slice cakelet pan from Nordic Ware for apple week, I got right into the kitchen to experiment! The pan is the most darling pan to use for fall baking! I personally will use it all year round because it is a great baking tool!

    Finishing up Apple Week with these amazing apple cakelets is a pleasure for me. The first batch of apple cakelets I made was eaten in no time! I knew I had a winner because even the hubs, who is not a sweets person, ate quite a few!

    I have made these countless times and the family loves the apple cakelets. Topping the cakelets with a Maple Drizzle sends these tasty treats over the top delicious!

    Where can I order a Nordic Ware Apple Cakelet Slice Pan?

    You can order one of these pans to use for fun autumn/Thanksgiving desserts HERE!

    Can these  Apple Cakelets be made ahead?

    Yes. This is a perfect baked treat to make-ahead. Do not add the maple drizzle. Wrap each cakelet in plastic wrap and place in a freezer safe bag. When ready to use, defrost overnight in the fridge. These can be warmed in the oven at 200 degrees for a few minutes. Then add the maple drizzle.

    How To Make Apple Cakelets with Maple Drizzle:

    1. In a medium bowl, add diced apples and sugar. Give the apples a few minutes to absorb the sugar.
    2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray the cakelets pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
    3. To the apples, add coconut oil, egg, and vanilla. Blend well.
    4. Sift flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves into the apple mix. Add in walnuts.
    5. Stir to combine.
    6. Scoop about 2 Tablespoons into each cakelet. Use a spoon to even off the top of the apple cakelets.
    7. Place in the oven for about 20 minutes. Toothpick should come out clean.
    8. Let cool and top with the Maple Drizzle.
