Anytime I’ve baked with apples it gets soggy and it’s usually a fail. Except, this time! 🙂 Simple to make and over the top delicious!! The only problem is how to stop at 1 slice.
What a wonderful comment to read!! So happy you enjoyed the cake, Sabin. 🙂 – Krista <3
Hi Krista, are there any alternatives to maple syrup you could suggest please?
Hi! You can use another liquid sweetener. I do love the maple flavor with the apple though!
