Coffeecake with apples

A techinical failure. There is a note at the end of this recipe, saying that it requires high heat at the beginning so it will "set" properly, and yet the recipe doesn't suggest turning the heat up, or preheating the over warmer than it's supposed to cook, or anything like that. It didn't quite set -- it super crumbly. I'm a bit disappointed.

It doesn't even taste all that great -- it's perfectly edible, but it's nothing compared to the coffeecake muffins from yesterday. Point for Baker's Illustrated, a loss for the Bread Bible.
