I tested and re-tested this apple cake recipe to get it just right. My #1 tip is to slice the apples very thin. I also like to use a combination of yogurt and oil for the right crumb texture. A crunchy cinnamon topping melts into the cake for added flavor. One bite and you’ll agree—this is the ultimate gluten-free apple cake!
