Apple Sheet Cake

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.

I couldn't find apple butter so I just used unsweetened applesauce and it was fantastic!!  A big hit at the office.  I would make this again.  Super moist.
