Tips:

Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too mushy.
Toss the apples with lemon juice or vinegar before adding them to the cake batter. This will help to prevent them from browning.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake, as this can dry out the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
