This is my mum's apple cake recipe. In autumn, when there are the new apples of the season, it's always present in her kitchen. I love it: simple and delicious.
I decided, however, to make some changes and to make it even more tasty. I'm really proud of the result: this is not only an apple cake. This is an addictive apple cake!
