FAQ
You can use any type of apples you prefer for this recipe. Some popular choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
Can I use canned or frozen apples for this recipe?
While fresh apples will give the best flavor and texture for this recipe, you can also use canned or frozen apples if needed. Just be sure to drain the canned apples well and thaw the frozen apples before using. However, I recommend using fresh apples for the best flavor.
Can I use a different type of sugar in this recipe?
You can use white granulated sugar in place of the brown sugar if you prefer. You can also experiment with other types of sugar, such as coconut sugar, turbinado sugar or stevia.
Can I make this recipe into muffins instead of a cake?
Yes, you can easily turn this recipe into muffins by dividing the batter into a muffin tin instead of a cake pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly, as muffins will likely bake faster than a cake (up to 15 min).
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can use a gluten-free flour blend in place of the regular flour to make this recipe gluten-free. Just be sure to check that all of the other ingredients you use are also gluten-free.
