[Piccolina]

[size=+2]Doesn't this just look so scrumptious? I really like the idea of using a tart green apple, and the addition of ginger is a great touch too, I think

Good spotting Brianschef, I missed that part of (or perhaps I'm just accustomed to only having two sizes of cake pans that I use for all my recipes ). Yes, I think a 9" or even a 10" would be a good size for this - thanks for spotting that Brianschef
