I was disappointed with this. i did not like the topping at all, in my opinion walnuts or no nuts would've been better than pecans and it had too much nutmeg . I had a lot of topping leftover as well and put it on quite thick. The cake was nice and moist though.

This turned out absolutely amazing! All who tasted it said they could not have just one piece! My husband didn't even know that apple was in it. Which means I can now substitute applesauce for butter in any recipe and he won't know it. I couldn't get the layers right, but don't worry, it doesn't make a difference.

The recipe as written has 2x as much sugar as I'd want! So minus a few stars for that. I made it healthier with whole wheat flour, reduced the butter a little, plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and cut the sugar in HALF - it was still a little too sweet for my tastes. Otherwise it was moist and tasty, will make again - with less sugar.

Wow, I was NOT expecting this cake to be this good!! I just wanted to use up my apple butter, but now I feel like I should buy some more just to make this cake again!! It is so moist, and the brown sugar in the middle makes it so very flavourful with the cinnamon...WOW...really perfect texture and taste! Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe!

Being from the Midwest, I love apple butter but I'm the only one in my house that likes it. I didn't want the jar to go to waste so I thought I'd give this a try. I bake a lot and my husband said this was crazy good. They only thing I did different was add about 2 cups chopped apples right into the batter. It took almost 15 minutes longer to bake than suggested. Not sure if that was due to the added fresh apples which do add moistured. But this was a do over for sure.

Super delicious, very moist, and definitely cake-y (that's a good thing) but not overbearingly sweet. I love it!

Great recipe, I made this using a homemade apple butter from this site. Very similar to a coffee cake, except not a dense... YUM!

Just made this cake. Exceptionally moist and tasty. The best thing about this cake is every ingrediant is always on hand at our home. The only thing I did different was add a little cinamon and Nutmeg to the cake batter.
