SO EASY!! I did it in an afternoon with Jonathan apples, which are kind of tart. I did lessen the butter. This is SO GOOD. I'm gonna make this all the time. A quick and easy recipe that makes it so easy to have a delightful home cooked dessert.

Very easy to make, though the boiling water step threw me off. It definitely does have a strong baking soda taste, and I didn't find it that flavorful. (Topped with Pilsbury Vanilla frosting, but it almost completely overpowers the cake's flavor.) Will keep on the lookout for other cake recipes.

I tried making these cinnamon-roasted almonds, and I wasn't really impressed, even with "improvements" of using vanilla instead of water, and doubling the cinnamon. Mine ended up looking nothing like the image, so maybe using sugar in the raw is better to give them a bit more texture. I really preferred the Candied Almonds recipe found on allrecipes to this one. :\
