After reading the reviews, I made the following alterations: I left the peel on the apples, substituted one half cup of oil with one half cup of applesauce, so I only used one quarter cup of oil in the whole recipe; substituted one quarter cup of white sugar with brown sugar, and used one tablespoon of cinnamon. This cake is great with breakfast or as a dessert.

Very good and the chili sauce adds a nice kick- Scaled down recipe to one pound of meat. Added one stalked of celery diced and 1/4 cup diced onion and chopped mushrooms. Also about two tblp of chopped italian parsley. Used thai sweet chili sauce. We made extra gravy- Used one 14 oz can beef broth for gravy and adjusted other ingredients accordingly. Added thyme to the gravy. Enough gravy for the meat and mashed potatoes.
