For a richer flavor, consider browning the butter before adding it to the wet ingredients. To prevent the apples from sinking to the bottom of the cake, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. If you don't have cream cheese frosting on hand, a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk or lemon juice works beautifully. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
