To really build the flavor (and keep anything from getting too mushy), ingredients are added in stages, and the sage goes in at two different times. Things do move quickly, though, so it’s best to chop everything before you begin.
This autumnal version, an adaptation of an Italian apple cake, is moist and light, fragrant with freshly ground spices and studded with chunks of fruit. In the spring, substitute fresh rhubarb for the apples.
