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.
