Since it's Pria's favourite cake here are some Additional tips and information:

For the best flavor, use a variety of apples. Sweet apples, such as Honeycrisp or Gala, will balance out the tartness of more tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.

If you want to prevent your apples from turning brown while you are preparing the cake, toss them with a little lemon juice.

To make sure your cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.

Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the cake to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.

Enjoy! ❤️
