Pro Tips for Perfect Apple Fritter Cake:

1. Soft Apples: Choose apples that soften nicely when cooked, like Granny Smith or Golden Delicious, for the best texture.
2. Layer for Flavor: Assemble the cake in layers to distribute the apple mixture evenly, ensuring every slice has a good balance of fruit and cake.
3. Avoid Overmixing: Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender.
4. Test for Doneness: Use a toothpick to check if the cake is ready; it should come out clean when the cake is baked through.
5. Glaze While Warm: Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake to allow it to soak in slightly, enhancing the moisture and flavor of the cake.
