you could leave out the rum for sure, but it is really good!

This looks amazing. I am definitely going to give this one a try; perfect for fall. I was wondering if I could make it without the rum (I don’t like buying a whole bottle of something just for one recipe), but a few comments mentioned the extra depth of flavor, so maybe I will. Thanks!

Oooh…browned butter. Yum! Nice addition, even though it was unintentional! Just take credit anyway!

How wonderful to bake a cake using apples that you have picked! The bropwned butter sounds like pure serendipity. A beautiful cake Steph.

Loved your post – I’ll try the burnt butter next time. Don’t you love those mistakes that actually make things better.
