For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter in the cake batter. Feel free to experiment with different types of apples, such as Honeycrisp or Gala, for a slightly sweeter flavor. If you don't have peanut butter chips on hand, you can substitute chopped peanuts or other nuts. The peanut butter glaze can be adjusted to your desired sweetness and consistency by adding more powdered sugar or milk, respectively. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
