Great recipe - it's actually more of an apple bread. I used 1/2 c. white sugar and 1/2 c. of brown sugar. I also upped the buttermilk to 1/4 c. and added 1 tsp. of cinnamon to the batter. I used three apples: one shredded and two chopped. I did two of these. One I made a topping for: 1/4 c. brown sugar 1/4 c. flour 2 tsp. of cinnamon and 1/4 c. of butter. Combine the sugar flour and cinnamon in a bowl then cut the butter in until it resembles course crumbs. Halfway through baking sprinkle over top so it doesn't sink into the cake. The other one I did a caramel sauce: 1/4 c. brown sugar 1/4 c. butter 1/8 c. of cream (or half and half) bring to a boil and boil for 3 minutes remove from heat and add 1/4 tsp. of vanilla. Let cool slightly before pouring over warm cake. Either way they're delicious!!!!
This was AWESOME. My husband ate the entire thing! I used three apples upped the milk a little and added some cinnamon to the batter. (Thanks Jillian!) Excellent recipe! This cooked for much longer than I expected though (probably an extra 15 min) but that's probably because of the extra apples. Oh also I baked this in an 8x8 glass dish. I didn't think it would fit in a loaf pan! Delicious though. Absolutely a keeper!
Made this with pears in a bundt pan - it was delicious! Very moist with all the fruit. Also chopped the walnuts up super fine in the food processor to make a nutty flavor throughout. This one's a keeper!
Tasted great and easy to make I suggest using more apples since that was the best part.
Was a really good cake I doubled the recipe to make two loafs. I left the skin on the apples and Everyone really enjoyed it.
I read all the great reviews and decided to try it. It came out great. I agree it's more of an apple bread than a cake. I added some cinnamon and nutmeg. Next time I'll chop the nuts superfine so the kids can't see them.
Really good cake. Moist and the walnuts really add to the flavor.
I just caught this recipe tonight and upon realizing I had all the ingredients I made it on the spur of the moment. It is so simple and very quick to prepare. Like earlier reviewers I added a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and even some ground cloves I had just sitting around. I used slightly more than 1/4 cup of buttermilk and it was wonderful. At first I thought two apples would be too much judging by the huge mound on my cutting board but after baking the pieces shrank to give a nice distribution of apples throughout the bread. I had to bake mine for about 75 minutes but it came out perfect. Very moist and not overly sweet. My first time making an apple bread but I will surely be making them more often thanks to this recipe!:)
GREAT! For gluten free just substitute rice flour for wheat flour and add 1 glass water. I didnt have buttermilk only regular and it came out just so good and moist and extremely tasty!!!
Dry! Very dense but even my very juicy apples couldn't help this. I watched it carefully and cooked it 10 minutes less that stated.
