Lovely cake but the directions need improving. The sugar needs to be dissolved in the pan (why the need for a no-stick one?) then poured over the apples before sprinkling on the pecans. After it has baked, it should be cooled for 10 minutes then turned upside-down onto a serving platter. It's very pretty and rich. I used half apples, half firm pears in a round cake pan sprayed with Baker's Joy. Thanks for a very satisfying autumn dessert.

I am a busy single mom of 5 growing boys!!
My children's ages are 21,18,14,12 and 10 1/2.
In my spare time,when I have any, I try to walk 3 miles a day.I like to read Woman's World and inspirational books and if I didn't have 5 beautiful boys to care for, I would probably be doing missionary work.
I live in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia and I swear we must be living in Heaven on earth!!!I would love to travel if I had the resources and time with Brazil and South America being on the top of my list of places to see.
