Apple Cake with Walnuts

This cake is luscious. The extremely moist crumb is flavored with lemon zest and my apple-enhancer of choice, Myers Rum. The top and interior are speckled with tart Empire apples from Champlain Orchards, after they've gotten a tumble in cinnamon sugar. This one will definitely star at the farmer's market, and in the rotation for the Sweet Thursdays Tea Cake Club.
