I need after church snacks on Sunday morning. I modified this redipe only to cut up the apples with a pastry cutter before I added the rest of the ingredients. I then filled mini muffin pans 1/2 full and added the crumbles on top. They baked up so nice and went over very well at church. The ingredients are a lot like the Cartoon Cake on this website (another favorite!!) Thank you for sharing!!! I will get a lot of use out of this recipe.

My husband and I love this recipe. I took the advice of other reviewers and added a second can of apple pie filling. I also cut the apples into bite-sized pieces. And I glazed the cooled cake with a confectioner's sugar glaze. I've made this three times in the last two weeks; it just doesn't last very long around here!

I must have made it wrong. It was dry and bland. I'll try it again and use other people's suggestions. Did not work well in a bundt pan.

This was so yummy and easy. Many reviewers said to add two cans of apple pie filling but I only had one on hand, but I did add about 2/3 cup of cinnamon applesauce. It came out nice and moist, almost like a coffee cake. Next time I think I will chop up the apples in the pie filling so they aren't such large pieces. The topping was really good but I will be cutting down on the amount of brown sugar, it was a little much. The nuts didn't stick well either. I may put them right into the cake batter next time. This is a keeper. Thanks !

I decided to try this recipe although I had doubts about it (sorry, I am European, got different taste than Americans) Anyhow, it did turn out pretty good. My daughter and I both loved it. It was easy to make. The only change I did was, I put some cinnamon in the cake mix and I cut the apples to little pieces so it would even out. I would use more apples but I am wondering if it would change the texture or not. Any tips?

The BEST cake I've had the pleasure to taste. I did take the advice of several other reviewers and used two cans of apple pie filling. Thank you Mary Ann Benzon for a wonderful recipe. I think you should win some kind of award for this one!!!

This cake is so GREAT! I am usually not a big cake fan, unless they're really dressed up with extras. However, this one is SO moist and SO yummy that I keep eating "just a smackeral" every time I walk by it! This one is not only going into my personal recipe box, but straight to the front of the cake section! Now for the changes I made... After reading other reviews, I ended up using two cans of apple pie filling, instead of just one. And then I had written the recipe down wrong, so it didn't include any butter for the crumb topping. Somehow in my gut I knew it HAD to be missing butter. So I looked at my apple crisp recipe, which calls for 3/4 cup of butter, and just used 1 stick (1/2 cup). SO, after reading the actual recipe today, I see I added 8 TIMES the amount of butter I was supposed to have added... So the top isn't really a crumble, but it still tastes delicious! Thank you so much for such a wonderful recipe!

What a great recipe! I actually changed the recipe a little, I didn't have any apple pie filling, so I substituted chunky applesauce. I didn't change anything else, and it was Wonderful! What a great, simple recipe! Even the cake hater in my house loved it and said this was a keeper (and his new favorite)!

I tried this recipe according to reviews that others have left. I couldn't make up my mind whether to try it with a Spice cake mix or yellow so I did both. (We have neighbors who eat the extras that we fix.) With the spice cake, I used 1 & 1/2 cans apple pie filling. With the yellow, I used 1 & 1/2 cans PLUS added apple pie spice to the mix. They both turned out great, either is a great option, however, we really like the spice cake over the yellow. Next time we make this we'll use spice cake mix PLUS 2 cans apple pie filling. Even with 1 & 1/2 cans it didn't quite seem like enough. The cake is great though and I recommend it. Edited to add: For those that really like a more intense flavor, the spice cake may be for you. The yeloow is wonderful as well. I might consider using less brown sugar next time.

This cake is so moist and delicious. I have made it twice in the past two weeks for my husband and I to take to work and it was a big hit both places. the cinnamon/sugar topping really makes it good. I did not increase the apple pie filling as some suggested and it was great! This recipe is definitely a keeper.

I followed the suggestion of others and used 1 1/2 cans of apple pie filling. I also cut the apples into smaller cubes before adding to batter. I too added a bit of cinnamon to the batter. My guests loved it and many asked for the recipe. I was almost embarrassed to tell them how simple and easy it was to make!

I split the batter in half and used walnuts and brown sugar to top the cake (as described in the recipe) in the one and just the brown sugar mixture on the other, and I must say, I rather prefer this cake without nuts. It is a very moist and tasty cake, goes great with ice cream. If you are a fan of warm apple pie like me, you'll love this!

My hubby requested apple cake for dessert on Thanksgiving and this recipe fit the bill! Per other reviews, I used 1 & 1/2 cans of pie filling, added cinnamon & nutmeg to both the batter and the topping, only used 1/4 cup brown sugar for the topping,left out the nuts, and baked for 37 minutes. Tastes even better after a few days in the fridge! I like to heat it in the microwave, but hubby likes it straight out of the fridge. Thanks Mary Ann!*******UPDATE***** Made this in muffin tins & they turned out really well! More like personal little apple cakes, but you can still pick them up & eat them like moist muffins! Baking time was about 30 min for the muffins.
