Recipe Notes
I mentioned that that using more than one kind of apple can make this cake taste more interesting.
Also mentioned was that you can use alternatives to sugar to sweeten this cake. Wash your apples in cool water and allow them to dry. Use a vegetable peeler or apple peeler to remove the skin and then use an apple corer to remove the core. Then slice the apples into chunks or slices.
