Helpful hints

  • 1 medium apple yields approximately 1 cup peeled and cored.
  • Cake batter will be thick. Spread with a spatula to coat apples with top layer of batter.
  • This high calorie dessert is a great choice for packing in extra calories. Not recommended for people with diabetes due to the high carbohydrate content.
