Followed the “directions” and got a tasteless brick.

I’d add more flour and maybe some cloves and nutmeg to bring more flavour next time :)

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.

Definitely a rich treat.

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.

I always wanted to try to make something in a skillet and this was for sure the winner. Made this twice so far, once for the family and once for the cafe at our church, served it hot with vanilla bean ice cream.

I mean it was o.k. but I don’t think it turned out just right. I think I put way too much butter…..

We served it alongside pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. As long as you like a nice, rustic appearance, you absolutely can’t go wrong with this cake.

I’ve reduced the butter by 1/2 cup for the topping and added about a cup of fresh cranberries and a couple of tablespoons of Grand Marnier. Yummmm…
