| I'm supposed to bring an apple dessert to a friend's for dinner (about 10 guests) and looking for inspiration. I don't really want to make an apple pie and not sure how a crisp would hold up to being baked early and transported. Any favorite apple cake recipes out there? I'm a good baker, if that matters. Just not inspired by this one. Thanks. |

I strongly prefer pie, but this cake is pretty good: http://joansfoodwanderings.blogspot.ca/2011/12/its-beginning-to-look-lot-like.html |

I always do Gooey Cakes -- apple, pumpkin, chocolate, etc. They are so good and get rave reviews.

| I made an apple upside-down cake that was delicious! It was Deborah Madison's recipe, but I saw others online that looked good. |

How about mini apple pies (don't know if you just don't want to make a big pie or not make apple pie at all):
You can make your own crust: http://www.food.com/recipe/mini-apple-pies-so-easy-not-much-hassle-286704 Or you can do store-bought crust: https://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/mini-apple-pies/d4b31ad3-7816-4971-a3f5-37eca7e017f7 Also 42 other ideas, although some are kind of complex: http://www.countryliving.com/food-drinks/g975/apple-dessert-recipes/ I personally think it's the right time of year to do caramel apples. You can make your own or buy the caramel wrappers. |

Just thought of something else - I once had creme brulee with a bottom layer of mixed berry puree. It was surprisingly good, and cut into the sweetness just enough. Perhaps you could do that with apple compote at the bottom? |

Sounds delicious, except that I would just bake without liquid to allow the puff to rise and crisp. |
