For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter. Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor profile. Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, and Braeburn apples work well together. Be sure to grease and flour the tube pan thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking. The cake is best served at room temperature or slightly warmed.
