No-Cook Apple Stack Cake

Normally apple stack cakes are a ton of work, requiring you to make a billion cake layers, but I came up with a no-cook version that requires almost no work at all. If you can find 10 minutes in your day, you can make this cake. Here’s the recipe.
No-Cook Apple Stack Cake
Prep Time:
10 min
Ingredients:
Apple butter
Graham crackers
I used one quart of apple butter and two sleeves of graham crackers to create my cake. If you want to make a bigger or smaller cake, just increase or decrease the ingredients accordingly. This recipe is incredibly flexible.
And while I used homemade apple butter, there’s no reason you couldn’t use store-bought.
What You Do:
Spread a graham cracker liberally with apple butter.
Then, place another graham cracker on top, like a sandwich, and spread apple butter on that cracker. Continue adding layers of graham cracker and apple butter, until your cake is as big as you’d like it to be.
“Ice” your cake with the remaining apple butter.
Then, wrap it up, and refrigerate it overnight. This will allow the apple butter to soak in and soften the graham crackers.
To serve, slice the cake from one of the corners, so all of the layers are revealed.
Such a pretty cake, and so easy to make.

The cake sounds yummy! Something like this would be handy to have on hand for the upcoming holidays.
That looks good! It really gives me ideas…..like making it with poundcake, although you’d have to slice into layers first. And this time of year you can often find pumpkin butter, too, or make your own.
And all would be yum with french vanilla ice cream
Funny you should mention pumpkin butter. I have a pumpkin version of this recipe in mind, but with a slight variation. If it works out the way I’m imagining, I’ll share the recipe soon.
You are something else… that just genius… Bet we are kin! Brings back memories…
never had this but love the ingrediants …maybe some whipped cream on top?
Yep, whipped cream would probably be very good with this.
is there a print button for this??
Hi Steve,
If you hit the print button in the browser, it should strip all of the ads off of the recipe post (at least that’s what we have it set up to do). We plan to add a new print recipe option this winter, so you’ll be able to print just the recipe, and not the post.
