Grated apple pie: variations
This cake is as good as it is, simple, but it can be changed creatively. Do you want some ideas? First of all, you can flavor it with the zest of Orange instead of lemon rind, or use the vanilla if you don't like cinnamon.
There are also those who are not satisfied with a dessert until there is chocolate: the cake can be enriched with chocolate chips (but also with raisins), joining them to the dough together with the grated apples, or it can be transformed, replacing a small part of the flour with the bitter cocoa.
Another idea to get an original result is to replace one of the two apples included in the recipe with two carrots, always to be grated. And why not enrich it with some walnuts? Just chop coarsely and add them directly into the dough, or spread them over its surface, for greater crispness.
And if you really can't resist, decorate the cake with the apple slices, placing them on top of the dough as required by the classic recipe.
