Decoration Tips
Before baking, sprinkle the top of the cake with a little extra cinnamon and sugar to create a beautifully caramelized crust. Once baked and cooled, dust with powdered sugar for a sophisticated touch. Garnishing with a few fresh apple slices or a sprig of mint can enhance its visual appeal and add freshness to the presentation.
