Clinton slices five apples thinner than a therapy co-pay and builds an Invisible Apple Cake — a custardy, apple-forward dessert that defies logic and TikTok trends. Carla and Michael weigh in on viral cooking traps, emotional kitchen moments, and party-etiquette crimes while the crew spirals into holiday-season honesty.

Featured Recipe: Invisible Apple Cake — apples sliced ultra-thin, folded into a light batter, baked until the layers melt into a custard-like slab of fall flavor. Perfect for dessert fanatics, skeptics, and anyone who thinks they “don’t like baking.”
