Description:
Swedish Apple Cake, or Äppelkaka, is a soft, moist cake made with a buttery batter and topped with tender, lightly spiced apple slices. The cake often has a subtle hint of cinnamon and vanilla, with a sugar-cinnamon topping that caramelizes in the oven, creating a slightly crunchy layer. It’s a comforting, classic Scandinavian dessert, perfect served warm with coffee, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
