Tips

Step 6

You can replace the walnuts in this recipe with equal amounts of almonds or pecans.

　　

Step 7

Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Golden Delicious, and Cameo apples are the best to use when making cakes and pies. They are firm yet juicy apples, and cook best in baking applications. They are also available year-round at your local grocery store or farmer’s market.
