Apple Sheet Cake
The best baking apples have sweet and tart flavor and hold up as they cook. We like to use Honeycrisp, Braeburn, and Gala here.

Delicious, even without the frosting. I just don't need those extra calories! Flavor intense, with pleasantly moist texture. Needed about 45 minutes baking time in my convection oven, and probably could have benefitted from 5 more minutes. Still wonderful, and I plan to make it again, as it was very easy to put together and satisfies deeply.

Made this for my family on New Years Day. Served w/homemade infused cinnamon whipped cream. Definitely a "comfort" dessert.....KEEPER

This was a complete disaster - 40 minutes and it was still wet, wet, wet. After another 30 minutes it seemed to be done. I took it out and tried to turn it out and it collapsed...although it had come out dry on the skewer, it was not really cooked and was puddingy. I had to rescue it and redeem it as best I could and put it in for another 15 minutes. Thank goodness for the icing. Without that it would have looked like I had dropped it on the floor....but cake this is not: I had to serve it as a dessert. Huge embarrassment.
