Reviews
This is a pretty good cake, not too sweet and the salty bacon compliments the flavour well. It turned out a bit crumbly but the apples kept it fairly moist. I didn’t have quite enough sour cream so I had to add more milk, which might be why I had to bake it longer than the recipe called for. If I ever make it again I’ll probably use more apples and cut them into larger chunks. I also think it would have been better with more bacon, I could have used the whole package rather than only half. I’d add more pecans, too.
