ditto ..... also, does it really matter if it's red delicious or another variety?

Yes, you freeze them after baking. The longer the freezing time, the better the cake tastes and the apples get redder--it is really a nice holiday bread!

This sounds really good. I take it you freeze after baking.

Peel the apples and dice them medium small. Sassy

Red Delicious works in this recipe. The other kinds of apples do not seem to work the redness or taste very well. Ronda

Yep, you are gonna get your apples! WooooHOOO!!! Enjoy your cakes!

Oh, let me know how the grandkids like this--such a sweet time to share and bake with Grandma! I love that! Ronda :)

It all sounds great, but I wonder what would happen if you soaked the apples in vodka or gin? LoL

or apple brandy!!

Have to try this one.

yum! Thanks!
