I was really impressed with how delicious they were, although I must admit I did have my doubts when making them that they would turn out so well.
The funny thing was that I decided to make these apple cakes today to help get rid of a huge bag of cooking apples that need using up, and when I got halfway through the recipe, I realised that it only uses 1 apple!
Next time I make these (and there will definitely be a next time), I will put a few slices of apple on each cake. At least that way I might use up three apples... I will also double the recipe because 12 cakes is nowhere near enough to keep everyone happy here... especially when the cakes are so yummy!
Oh, and I didn't put on the melted butter and cinnamon/sugar mix. I just dusted them with icing sugar and they were awesome!
