What Type of Apple Should I Use?

For apples, you can find many variations of apples in the market. But I would suggest choosing the apple flavor you love the most as it will determine the cake’s taste.

If you love sweeter ones, go for Honeycrisp and pinata apples, but if you want sour apples like granny smith, you can go for it.

Wondering if you should peel the apples? You can do it, but there are lots of nutritional benefits inside those peels, so you decide what you want to do.

For cutting apples, you can either shred them or simply cut them into small cubes. Shredding apples will give a simple flavor of apple in cake with no apple texture in it.

I suggest cutting the apples into thin but noticeable pieces because when you cook them, they will become soft without a crunchy texture, but it will give a delicious juicy apple flavor.

You can freeze fresh apple slices for later, see How To Freeze Apples?

Before you take the cake out from the pan, use the flipping technique, so you don’t have to break the cake. Place a large plate upside down over the pan and strongly hold the plate upside down over the pan in one smooth motion. If you use a square or rectangular pan, you use a wire baking rack for the flicking.
