There’s something magical about this Swedish Apple Cake—tender, buttery cake packed with cinnamon-spiced apples and topped with a crisp, golden sugar crust. My mom made it for every family gathering, and without fail, it vanished before any other dessert! Now, I’m sharing her cherished recipe so you can recreate that same warm, nostalgic comfort in your own kitchen.
