Amazing and easy.
Ice cream is crucial.
If you don’t like butter, stay away.
It is indulgent and awesome.
I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.

This was tasty and simple to make – but SOOOOO buttery and sugary it was too much for me! Definitely a rich treat.

I made this this morning and have a few changes. If you use a 9 inch skillet, decrease butter to 1 stick and sugar to 1/2 Cup, and decrease apple slices accordingly. Mine overflowed a good bit of the butter in a 9inch skillet when I added the batter. Perhaps in a 10 inch you’d be ok.
I added some McCormick apple pie spice to the apples. It’s just cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. I also added some to the batter.
The batter seemed thick to me, but it was the first time so I wanted to stick with the recipe. Next time I might add a little milk. The cake seemed dense. Perhaps that would lighten it up a bit.
Mine didn’t harden up very well in the middle, even after 30 minutes. Next time I may cover the edges with foil so they don’t brown too quickly.
Overall though, a very delicious cake.

This is a super cake!! My husband that doesn’t like apples loved it and as he took the last bite asked when I would be making it again.

This was superb…but oh so rich! Since I was dreaming about this cake the next night (it was scarfed up the same night!), the second time I made it I deviated from the recipe in an attempt to lessen the calories. I dropped the first step with the million bars of butter and the apples and just made the cake. Trust me…do not try this – it didn’t work – my taste buds were too intuned with the original recipe – DRAT!

Very bad for my waistline, but oh so good.

I made this the day she posted it on Pioneer Woman Cooks and fell instantly in love. It was so easy to make! It also makes an excellent breakfast.

Made this for my family last week and they just loved it!! The cake was so moist and my kids loved the caramely apples. It was a little hard to unmold from the cast iron skilet but looks aren’t everything when it tastes so good.

This was amazingly awesomely delicious! I will be making this for our Thanksgiving gathering with my parents. Although, I might have to ‘practice’ one more time.
Next time I have a doc visit, I am blaming you Ree, it is all your fault. ;-P

Thanks, PW, for a fabulous and easy recipe! I made this last weekend. It was HEAVENLY!. Very little work for a wonderful dessert. Served it with homemade Vanilla ice cream (from the Perfect Scoop). YUM!

I made this and set it in the center of the table, still hot on a night when the kids did NOT like what I made for dinner. When they saw the dessert though, they ate every bite! I rewarded them with two pieces of cake. Delish!

Just FYI (and maybe I’m getting this wrong), but it looks like you’ve missed the first couple ingredients:
4 to 5 small Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into six equal slices
1 3/4 sticks butter
3/4 cup sugar
I wondered why my printout didn’t have these.

Oh my goodness, what an incredible (and calorie laden) dessert. It was so good, I had to immediately give half of it away to my neighbor, lest I eat it all. I am a main dish kind of guy, but this broke down nearly all my will power and my wife and I ended up sparing over the leftovers. Can’t make this again unless company is over so I can be sure that none is left over. I’m sure none will be.
