"Wonderful flavor and super moist! I made this up when the fall crop of apples became available at the supermarket and my heart was breaking to be back in New York for the change of season. I'm not big on measuring my ingredients when I get on a roll preparing something I have in my head, so the amounts are a good estimate."
