Apple Harvest Bake

Submitted by chefmopotts

"Found this recipe the past weekend in the Sunday paper coupons. Made it last night for my family and my DIL raved about it. I even forgot to put in the rest of the brown sugar until I had the batter on top of the apples. I scooped it back off and added the sugar, but the recipe says to stir "just until moist". Oops. I will definitely be making this again and will follow directions exactly. Enjoy."

I also found this recipe in the adds, and just had time to make it today. It was really tasty. I didn't have any nutmeg, so I just used a little more cinnamon. I also baked it in a spring form pan to make transfer easier. It might have been a little larger than 9" because the cake was ready after 30 minutes of baking. Overall, the cake turned out well, and I would bake it again
