Steps:
- For the apples: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch glass baking pan.
- Mix together the apples, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- For the cake: Combine the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Using a hand-held mixer, beat on medium high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined, then add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and buttermilk. Beat on low speed until a few streaks remain, then fold together with a rubber spatula until fully combined. (Do not overmix.)
- Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with half of the apple mixture. Spread the batter over the top of the apples. Top the batter with the remaining apples, making decorative rows across the cake. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.

MY FRESH APPLE BRANDY CAKE
YUMMY. I concocted this recipe in an attempt to copy a cake that was served in a deli where I and my co-workers went to have lunch at least twice a week. It comes pretty close to the original, and it keeps well--seems to get better as the days go on, although my family loved it so much it didn't last that many days!!!

APPLE BRANDY SPICE CAKE
The brandy may be omitted if desired, but it just tastes so much better when it is added to the batter, also I like to throw in a few raisins for extra flavor, but not too many, as the cake will take longer to bake, and there is a possibility of the cake batter running over the sides of the pan.

APPLE BRANDY PECAN CAKE
My favorite apple cake is made with a shot of brandy and drizzled with caramel to set off the wonderful flavors. If alcohol is a no-go, use orange juice instead of apple brandy. If you'd rather go the chocolate route, add mini chocolate chips to the cake and use chocolate ice cream topping for the drizzle. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

Tips:
- Use a good quality apple brandy for the best flavor. Look for a brandy that has been aged for at least two years.
- If you don't have any apple brandy, you can substitute another type of brandy or even whiskey.
- Be sure to use fresh spices for the best flavor. Ground spices will work, but freshly grated spices will give your cake a more intense flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cake dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
