For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the apple crisp topping. Toast the oats before adding them to the topping for a nuttier taste. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother cake batter. Use a stand mixer for best results when creaming the butter and sugar. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
