In his debut cookbook, What Can I Bring? Recipes to Help You Live Your Guest Life, author Casey Elsass features this apple cake that seems like the poster child for fall. A simple batter made entirely by hand is packed with chopped apples and turned into a cake pan. Elsass mentions the addition of apple cider vinegar in the batter as a unique addition, but we think it’s the topping that truly sets this apple cake apart from all others. The cinnamon sugar topping sets into the cake as it bakes, functioning like a low-effort streusel.
