We love this cake! Followed the recipe as written but used a 9x13 pan and baked at 350. Topped it with a simple brown sugar glaze. The batter seems very dry at first but when it cooks the moisture from the apples makes it perfect. Read More

The batter was dry. I thought there was a wet ingredient missing. I would advice that you mix all the wet together first and then combine. The end procuct was delicious and moist. Very tasty. Read More

This is an outstanding apple cake. I have taken it to several affairs and everyone wants the recipe. It is so fast also. My son and daughter have also taken it to church and school events and received many compliments. As parents of young children they have little time for baking and appreciate how fast this recipe is.

This cake was not good to me something was missing; substance. It tasted gooey. Too many apples and cinanmon for my taste buds. Try my recipe for comparison. Jean's Apple Bundt Read More

This is a great recipe - all the flavors of fall. Wonderful with a little whipped cream on top. I used an 8"x8" pan (smaller than the pan called for in the recipe) but everything fit - it just needed a slightly longer baking time. I used pecans instead of walnuts decreased the oil to 1/4 cup and added 1/2 cup of applesauce. It was wonderful - really dense and moist just like a recipe my mother used to make. Read More

This recipe was pretty good. My husband not a huge sweets fan really liked this one. I did make changes however so I'm not sure how true the 5 stars are. Rather than refined sugar I used Turbinado (that's all I use) and rather than vanilla I used honey (it's all I had!). I chopped up a batch of apples given to me by my neighbors so I have no idea which type they were using a baby food maker. This works great b/c you can basically do it in one-cup increments and adjust to your taste. I did have to cook it a bit longer than the recipe calls for (using all 5 1/2 cups of apple I cooked in a 9x9 for 55 minutes @ 325)but it turned out great. It's dense and very moist like a wet sponge. But the flavor's great and the kids loved it! Read More
