My sister lives very close to a place called Ritters in Pennsylvania. Ritters has the best apple cider I have ever tasted. I started making this cake back when I still lived in Pennsylvania. It's a delicious addition to fall menus, and the aroma that wafts through the house while it's baking is just amazing.
