This is the first time that I've made an apple cake, and I don't think I'll make one again, at least not this one. Followed the recipe exactly, even baked it in a 13X9 pan, but for 50 mins. What I ended up with was an almost bread pudding-like consistency, with apples. I can't imagine what it will be like by tomorrow. I purposely didn't top with anything because I wanted to taste the only the cake. I didn't find it to be all that flavorful. I have made many a cake professionally and don't understand what all the fuss is about this cake. I was planning on making this for Thanksgiving and I'm sooo glad that I tried it at home first. Guess I'll keep looking.

Great taste, but following recipe exactly results in awful texture (and I'm not talking crunchy b/c of the graham crumbs). Waaay too much butter! Kept it in fridge overnight to harden and tried it the next day; feels like biting into a stick of peanut butter flavored butter! Will definitely try again, but will reduce butter to 1/2 cup. Thanks for the recipe!

I actually gagged trying to get halfway through it. A waste of a kielbasa.
