So, after reading about the recipe I decided to try it. I bought honey crisp and granny smith apples. I ordered from KA the boiled cider, dial a slicer and apple pie spice. I used two granny smith and one really large honey crisp apple. I also re-sliced them a little thinner. I added a little extra spice and a spice mix from Pampered Chef that had a orange, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon blend. Lastly, I added the sugar on top and sprinkled chopped pecans on one half of the cake. I baked it at 350 for about 40 minutes in a Lodge 10" cast iron skillet that I bought from Target. The cake came out great!!! I couldn't wait to cut it and taste it. I think the next time I may double the cake batter portion of the recipe to give the cake more height and more cake in proportion to the large amount of apple slices. I will also drizzle the top of the cake with caramel to add a little praline touch. Yummy! Will definitely make again. Thanks for the recipe!
