Recipes Tips
If you want to make the cake even more flavorful, you can add some chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, to the apple mixture before baking. You can also serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Another tip is to make sure that the apples are thinly sliced, so they cook evenly and don’t weigh down the cake. You can use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to slice the apples.
Lastly, make sure to let the cake cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cake to set properly.
