Step 7: When done, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool fully before taking it out of the pan.

Step 8: Slice and serve. Enjoy!

NOTES:

To make the cake light and fluffy, make sure to cream the butter and sugar until fluffy and creamy.

DO NOT OVERMIX the batter or the cake is being tough.

Make sure to use only baking apples for this recipe, such as Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Pink Lady, Braeburn, and Jonagold.

Swap apples with pears if desired.
