Notes
Calories can be reduced to 419 per cake if applesauce is used in place of butter.
Use a good baking apple. The best apples for cakes are Granny smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, and Gala.
Be generous with spices. Cinnamon and nutmeg bring out the sweetness of the apples even more.
Add a topping. Nuts or granola will give your cake an extra crunchy twist.
