Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the oats with a different grain?
Yes, you can use crushed almonds or ground flaxseed as an alternative, but this may change the texture and flavor of the cake.
What type of apples work best for this cake?
Firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are ideal, as they maintain their shape and provide a nice tartness that balances the sweetness.
How do I know when the oat and apple cake is done baking?
The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Could u suggest a substitute for curd in this recipe?
