EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

McIntosh, Cortland or Rome apples work well in this moist, nutty cake.

If you wish, fold in 1/2 cup of raisins along with the nuts and use apple brandy (Calvados), pear brandy (Poire William) or even Grand Marnier in place of the regular brandy.

Very moist and delicious. I did use the brandy instead of the cider and it had a nice subtle taste. Next time, I'll try the cider. I did not add any nuts in the cake but did add some chopped Pecans to the icing. also, used 2 - 9x9 pans... one to give... one to eat. Will make again :D
