I don't eat apples at all, I think they are boring. But with this recipe! they taste so sweet and delicious. It's like eating an apple pie on every bite.

Very good cake, although by the time I incorporated the suggestions of other reviewers and added a few changes of my own, I'd have to say the recipe was the BASE. Substituted 50% brown sugar for the white and 50% applesauce for the oil. Added extra cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Didn't have plain orange juice, so used a mango-peach blend. Also added extra apples and a ripe banana that I needed to use up. Used toasted pecans, instead of walnuts. The cake turned out great!

this is a very dense cake, but it's also very yummy. it's a great comfort food, especially when combined with a cup of hot drink.

I made a few changes in this recipe but I used it as a base. I used a mixture of brown sugar and granulated sugar. I added plump golden raisins. And I just mixed the apples into the batter instead of layering it. Oh yeah, and I added a pinch of allspice. I did not have a bundt pan so I used my muffins tins and these made wonderful breakfast muffins. They did not rise hardly at all so I filled the tins up to the very top. Very dense and moist and flavorful.

We had company for a BBQ last night and severe thunder storms drowned our plans so we ended up ordering Chinese Food. This cake was the hit of the meal, it was enjoyed by all. I too used 4 cups apples, sprinkled with lots of cinnamon, cloves, allspice and nutmeg, and mixed it in with the batter. I used 1/2 oil and 1/2 fat free sour cream. What I like about this recipe is that the ingredients are those I would always have in the house and it was so quick and easy to put together I'm sure I wil be making this many, many times.

My teenaged son made this cake as a treat for me. It's really good; nice and moist. I loved the little bits of walnuts. It gives the cake a nice texture along with the apples. Instead of dusting it with icing sugar, he made a little glaze of OJ and icing sugar and poured it on the cake when it was cool. He chose this cake because it contains no butter or milk as I am lactose intolerant.

Way too heavy and not much taste. I even doubled the apples as suggested. I tried it twice. I will not make it again.

We made this recipe exactly to the directions, omitting only the walnuts. For some reason it just didn't turn out well at all; the cake was really wet and floury, and the flavor was off. Perhaps the apples had too much moisture. I don't think I'll try this one again.
