This recipe calls for 2 cups of tart baking apples peeled and chopped. Here is a list of the popular tart baking apples.

• Golden Delicious is a great baking apple. It is more sweet than tart and it retains its shape after baking.
• Cortland are slightly tart and somewhat sweet, a great all around baking apple.
• Granny Smith is crisp and sour, one of the most popular baking apples as it pairs well with sweet or warm spices. I always bake with Granny Smith apples.
• Honey Crisp holds firm when baked and has a more sweet than tart flavor.

I kept one of the pans here at home and I took the other one to church. I shared it with the volunteers serving with me in Kid’s Church. They all gave this recipe rave reviews. Several specifically mentioned how moist the cake was.
