Thank you for responding so fast. The cake sounds delicious and I love cooking with apples so I wanted to make it ASAP. Gonna jump right in while it's still warm.

Either this is a no bake recipe, which I seriously doubt, or quite a few steps are missing.

I'm so sorry.
I really don't understand why, at least 3 steps, were missing.
I have already corrected the recipe.
Thanks.
