NOTES

  • Cream butter and sugar till fluffy and creamy which makes the cake light and fluffy.
  • Don’t over mix the batter, over mixing makes the cake tough.
  • Be sure to select baking apples for this recipe. Baking apples hold their shape when baked, so the chunks of fruit won’t turn into applesauce in the oven. Tart-sweet varietals such as Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Pink Lady, Braeburn, and Jonagold are all good options.
  • Instead of apples you can use pears too.
