Recipe Notes:
- Apples: You can use any variety of apples you prefer, but I recommend using a firm, tart apple like Granny Smith for the best flavor and texture.
- Butterscotch Chips: The butterscotch chips add a delicious caramel-like flavor to the cake. If you prefer, you can substitute with chocolate chips or omit them altogether for a simpler cake.
- Storage: Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze individual slices for longer storage.
