Hi! Do you recommend any particular varietals of apples for the recipe?

This looks amazing. Going to sub yogurt for buttermilk since that's what I've got.

Would it still be okay with miyoko’s butter (non dairy but still really rich) and lactose free buttermilk (plant milk + ACV)? The lactose intolerant struggle is real.

I look so forward to your newsletter every week. Brings me such joy when it pops into my email. Been trying all recipes. Not a disappointment yet. In to the kitchen to make the apple cake. Keep on writing.

OMG. My husband whipped this up this morning and it’s so good we’ve almost finished it today. We had to stop ourselves so there’s be some left to go with our coffee tomorrow morning.

help!! What is the ration of apple to batter supposed to be like... I just tried it and it felt like A LOT of apples (more than the batter) and then it came out a wet gross mess

We devoured this cake in an obscene amount of time, I can't wait to make it again.

I've made this cake 4 times and each time the middle remains uncooked after 30 minutes but the edges are getting burned. Any suggestions?

Can you make this ahead of time? Thinking of making it for Christmas dinner.

Has anyone made Alison's El Pastor recipe from Dining In? I would like to know if the chili's she uses in the recipe are dried or fresh. Thank you

I was looking at 3 apples last night languishing in my fridge and wondering if I should make apple sauce or baked apples. Thank you for solving my dilemma. I will make this cake. The recipe reminds me of an apple cake I had at Winkel's in Amsterdam that I have been attempting to recreate for years. This looks pretty close so I'll give it a try. I usually can't abide people who comment on something they haven't made, but here I am, doing just that. I'll get back to you.

I have an over abundance of peaches and nectarines at the moment (I’m in Australia). Would they work instead of apples?
