| Author Notes: | The recipe is part of a collection of "Down Home" cooking in Dave's fabulous book Famous Dave's Backroads and Sidestreets (proceeds from the book benefit charity). If the fruit should stick to the skillet, Dave says not to worry, just remove it and place it back on top of the cake. |
