Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the butter with applesauce. If you're short on time, use pre-chopped apples or even store-bought pie filling for a quicker prep. Adjust the sweetness by using less sugar if your apples are particularly sweet. Always ensure your baking soda is fresh for the best rise.
