  Peel, core and slice the apples. Toss with lemon juice, then stir two thirds into the cake mixture. Spoon into the prepared pan.

Increase heat slightly and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, til the mixture begins to darken slightly in color. Remove from heat, gradually stir in 1 cup heavy cream, then return to stove.
