I baked this peanut butter apple oat cake for my dog Oliver’s birthday last weekend. The apples and oats made the cake hearty, and he ate the first piece without hesitation.

I store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Oliver gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us four days.
