When baking with apples, the key considerations are flavor and texture. The best apples for making cakes and for baking are those that won’t turn into a watery mush when cooked. They are firmer and have less water content than others. Slightly tart apples are ideal since they taste even more excellent when contrasted with the sugar and the spices.
Don’t over mix the batter when combining the wet and the dry ingredients. Mix the dry ingredients well but when you add it to the moist ingredients, only blend them until they are all moistened. Over mixing will result in a dry cake.
