For best results, use a mix of apple varieties, such as Honeycrisp and Granny Smith, for a balance of sweetness and tartness. If you don't have walnuts, pecans or almonds make a great substitute. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
