Why does the recipe call for peeled apples and there is the peel still on the apple????? And for sure, what size pan - 13x9x2, or 8x8 (those are Minnesota sized cake pans.) Sounds absolutely delicious and I bet you could use pears, strawberries or blueberries too. And, Minnesota Haralson apples should be out pretty soon and they are the best pie apples you have ever tasted. Nice taste and hold together very well! Thanks in advance for the info. Edie
