Remove 15 minutes before serving to soften.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freezer<\/strong>: wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature or warm in a low oven.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Can I use salted butter?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, but skip the pinch of salt in the recipe. The slight saltiness works beautifully with the sweet apples.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I adjust baking time for my oven?<\/strong><br \/>\nCheck at 25 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil. The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which apples work best?<\/strong><br \/>\nChoose firm varieties that hold their shape when baked, like Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, or Reinette. Tart apples balance the sweetness, while sweeter ones make the cake more mellow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I make it ahead of time?<\/strong><br \/>\nAbsolutely! This cake tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a gluten-free version?<\/strong><br \/>\nSwap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend and add 1 tsp xanthan gum for structure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can I make it extra moist?<\/strong><br \/>\nAdd 1 tbsp apple sauce to the batter \u2013 it enhances both the flavor and the texture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I replace the cream?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, with plain yogurt, sour cream, or even buttermilk for a slightly tangier note.<\/p>\n<h2>Other desserts recipe to
