Cinnamon Apple Moonshine Cake

 
Super moist and loaded with apples and the best McCormick Ground Cinnamon Cinnamon Apple Moonshine Cake is topped with a moonshine caramel glaze that takes the cake to the next level! If you love a moist cake try my Pumpkin Pound Cake with a Cream Cheese Glaze!
Moonshine Cake
When I made my homemade Cinnamon Apple Moonshine I knew I needed to use it for more than just drinking. With its sweet flavor I thought about using it in a dessert. Then to make it even more useful I not only put the moonshine in the cake but I also used it in the glaze to top the cake! Cheers to that! I will give you variations of the recipe if you do not want to use the alcohol.

Even though the moonshine is a FABULOUS addition to this cake it simply cant outshine the cinnamon. McCormick Ground Cinnamon is my goto in all my baking because of the quality of the product and pure flavor. I usually buy 2 bottles during the holidays because cinnamon is the perfect complement to almost all my baking!
Cinnamon Apple Moonshine Cake Ingredients
Moonshine My homemade Cinnamon Apple Moonshine is one of the stars of this cake and glaze. However I will also give you nonalcoholic options below.
Apples I prefer Granny Smith apples the tartness of the apples complements the sweetness in the cake. They also keep their shape when baked. 
Can I Make this Cake Without Moonshine?
Yes! It is easy to substitute moonshine for other ingredients if you do not want to use alcohol in the recipe.
For the glaze simply substitute the moonshine for 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. The caramel will be thicker and still taste amazing For the cake replace the moonshine with 12 cup vegetable oil. That means 1 12 cups vegetable oil total in the recipe.
I put the substitutions on the recipe card as well. Cinnamon Apple Cake will be delicious with or without the Cinnamon Apple Moonshine!
