Mmmmm! The first time I made this, I used 5 medium Granny Smith apples, and followed the recipe to the 'T'. I did ue my own boiled cider - more about the later. The second time, I used 4 medium Gala apples and cut the sugar in the filling to 1Tablespoon and put the apples in the skillet before adding the batter. I prefer apples cooked through, and I also found when following the recipe, the apples that baked on top of the cake resembled dried apples a bit too much for my taste.
