really soft cake layers that taste like vanilla butter. A subtly sweet ganache icing helps to bring everything together. For a special occasion, prepare this show-stopper and get compliments. Cooking and assembling are greatly accelerated by the use of aluminum pans. As the other layers cook, the batter maintains its shape well.

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 onion, sliced into rings and rings separated
- ½ cup apple cider
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups cooked wide noodles
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir apples until lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle brown sugar over apples and cook until apples are tender, about 5 minutes more. Transfer apples to a plate.
- Arrange chicken on a sheet of waxed paper; season both sides with cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Melt remaining butter in the same skillet and cook chicken until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Cook and stir onion in the same skillet used for chicken until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir cider and vinegar into onion, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Return chicken to onion mixture, spooning cider sauce over chicken and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes more. Spoon apples into chicken mixture and cook until apples are warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Arrange noodles on plate, top with chicken, and spoon sauce over chicken.

I found this to be an interesting combination and it was worth a try. It turned out great! Nice fall-like recipe. I used mushroom noodles with it. Will make again!
We love this dish! It has been a family favorite for years. I first found it in a Weight Watchers cookbook, but misplaced it and was overjoyed to find it again here. I make it as written and find the blend flavors to make a delightful fall dinner. It is one our entire family liked, and with six kids, that wasn’t easy!
I did not care for this recipe. I found it to be too sweet and bland, so I added ginger, garlic and hot pepper.
