Barbara from Amsterdam,
A first for a Smitten recipe--this recipe seemed so light and easy but it didn't work for me. I left the cake in for the full 60 minutes, but the center still wasn't cooked through (although the tester came out clean). The apples themselves were also still not cooked soft, the batter had turned hard and meringue-like on top. It was also far too sweet.
I made it with 4 granny smiths and a rembrandt, plus some frozen cranberries.
I'd like to give it another go, but this time I will reduce the sugar by at least a quarter cup, only beat the sugar and eggs until just mixed, and cook the thing for a lot longer.
