Modifications

Peeling the apples and cutting them is probably the most muscle fatiguing part of this recipe for me. Find a comfortable place and take as many breaks as you need to not exhaust yourself.

I couldn’t use a stand mixer because the whips would break and mash the apple pieces. I used the stand mixer on medium to beat the egg mixture and after that I used the lowest speed which was “Stir” to incorporate all the rest of the ingredients. It worked beautifully and didn’t cream ingredients that just needed stirring in.

Stirring in ingredients with stand mixer.

As often as possible, I use bowls that have a pouring spout as well as a rubber ring on the bottom. They are easier to transfer the ingredients from as well as being more stable on the counter.
