I don’t know who Lillian was but my mother has been baking this yummy Danish cake for as long as I can remember. Fresh apple slices and cinnamon are complemented by a divine nutty topping which gets toasted whilst baking. My family loved this cake which I baked for the first time today! Serve with a cup of tea or as a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream.
