Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using sweet-tart apples (like Pink Lady or Braeburn) ensures the best flavor balance without overpowering sweetness.
Ensure all ingredients like butter and eggs are at room temperature to prevent the batter from curdling when mixing.
Depending on your oven's temperature consistency, baking can take up to 45 minutes; test with a skewer to be sure.
