You could easily find the latest recycle time by using this powershell snippet: 

(Get-Process -Id <ProcessId>).StartTime

Therefore find the process id of your web application in task manager.
First add the following columns via Tools > Select columns... : select PID and Command Line.
Look for any w3wp.exe process and find your application by examining the command-line (application pool name is part of it) and note down its PID.
Then run the powershell script to find the latest recycle time:

Hope this helps
