This has been my favorite cake for as long as I can remember. I absolutely love lingonberries, and when paired with a simple almond-vanilla sponge and apples, it’s perfection. I created this recipe to yield a smaller cake, so you can make it anytime—no special occasion needed—and not be left with a ton of leftovers a week later. So, enjoy it with friends or just by yourself—it's up to you!

Happy official fall! Kick it off with a simple apple buckle that will leave your kitchen smelling so good! Enjoy!
