Mixed Nuts
Ground nuts not only give
this cake a toasty, deep
flavor, they also tenderize
the crumb by adding
fat and countering flour’s
glutenous toughness.


Core Power
Step away from the apple
corer! The neatest way to
remove a core is to use that
melon baller that’s been
idle since August (or 1999).
A sturdy teaspoon measure
will also do the trick.

Go Halfsies
Rather than mix in chunks
of fruit, Saffitz opts for
peeled apple halves so that
every serving has a big
portion of spoonable fruit
cupped by moist cake.

Apple Cake Hot Take
Tender, nutty, and studded with caramel-
glazed apple halves, Claire Saffitz’s apple cake
is the best apple cake. (There, we said it.)
