• I made two of Mary Berry's apple cake recipes for fall.
• One of the cakes was made using almonds while the other had cinnamon in the recipe.

I'm a tad late to the Mary Berry train.

Berry, 88, is a British baking legend and TV personality best known for a multitude of cooking shows, including "The Great British Bake Off."

As someone who is relatively new to baking, Berry's two apple cake recipes appealed to me as they have been described as simple and easy to make.

Both recipes — made with slightly different ingredients — were delicious and a perfect option for fall. Here's how they compared.
