Remember to check for doneness with a toothpick before removing from the oven.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade apple pie filling?
Absolutely! Homemade apple pie filling can add a personal touch and enhance the flavor of the cake. Just ensure that the filling is thick enough to maintain the cake's texture. If your filling is too watery, you may need to adjust the flour slightly to achieve the desired consistency.
What can I substitute for eggs in this recipe?
You can use flaxseed meal or chia seeds as an egg substitute. Mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens. This will help bind the ingredients together, making it suitable for vegetarian recipes.
How can I make this cake gluten-free?
To make this cake gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend includes xanthan gum for proper texture. Additionally, check that your apple pie filling is gluten-free, as some brands may contain gluten.
