Notes

  1. Omit the xanthan gum if your flour blend contains it.
  2. Plain Greek Yogurt can be used in place of the sour cream. Light sour cream can also be used.
  3. I used one Granny Smith Apple and one Cosmic Crisp apple in this cake.
  4. Nutrition information does not include the maple glaze.
