Tips and Variations
Apples: You can use any variety of apples you like. Granny Smith apples add a nice tartness, while Honeycrisp apples are sweet and juicy.
Sweetener: Feel free to swap the maple syrup or honey with agave nectar or another liquid sweetener of your choice.
Add-ins: For an extra crunch, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans. You can also add 1/4 cup of raisins or dried cranberries for added texture and sweetness.
Spices: Experiment with other spices like ground ginger or cloves for a different flavor profile.
Gluten-free: To make this cake gluten-free, substitute the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep the cake in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze individual slices for up to 3 months. To freeze, wrap each slice in plastic wrap and place them in a resealable freezer bag. Thaw the slices in the refrigerator or at room temperature before serving.
