Notes

Apples- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples- Like granny smith and Honey Crips. This will give you a delicious sweet and sour taste.
Do not immerse them in water to avoid oxidation. It will soak up the water and make the cake batter too loose.
Rum - You can make this cake with or without the rum. If not using Rum, use honey or Maple syrup. You can also use Rum flavor instead.
