I followed the directions/ingredients exactly and found this recipe to be just what I was looking for. I used Comstock Apple Pie Filling. Cake was perfectly moist with just enough apple flavor. The streusal topping was perfect, too --- the brown sugar, butter & walnuts caramelized into a wonderfully crunchy mix. Did not taste like cake mix cake to me at all. Very good!

This is a DELICIOUS easy recipe!!! Right up my alley for someone who definitely is NOT the cook in the family! My family was raving about the cake and asking for the recipe. I also changed the recipe a bit as other reviewers did. I used 1 1/2 cans of apple pie filling, and added 1 tsp of vanilla and some ground cinnamon to the batter! I will definitely make this again!

I was not impressed with this recipe. It was very moist as others have stated, but it lacked a lot of flavor. I added apple pie spice and extra apples, but it still didn't taste good. My hubby (who will eat most anything sweet) said it was just ok. Will not make this again.

This was amazing and soooo easy. I made it in a Bundt pan (350 for 60min). I always add things to my recipies. I added 1tsp vanilla with vanilla pudding. I put 1/2 brown sugar mix on bottom of bundt pan, put in some cake mix then brown sugar mix followed by rest of batter. It turned out great, oh I also added cinnamon to batter....great

Wow - this was excellent. I thought it would come out tasing like a low fat cake since there's no oil in the recipe but it was just wonderful. This is definitely a keeper recipe. Thank you!

The cake was delicious; however, I will use 1 1/2 or perhaps 2 cans of apple pie filling next time, with a little cinnamon in the cake batter. Thanks, Mary Ann for sharing!

This was a super quick and very good tasting recipe. The only thing wrong with it was that I could not just eat one piece, I had to have two right away and one this morning for breakfast. Excellent!

Absolutely delicious and super easy. I made it for a last minute get together and everyone loved it. It doesn't help that I love anything w/ apples in it, but you can't help loving anything so easy and tasty!

They raved about it!!I used some of the suggestions of other reviews(added more filing, more cinnamon, spice cake mix, cooked a little longer than suggested)and it turned out wonderful....even the batter was great!!

I didn't use the walnuts and I added more filling based on the reviews. Turned out yummy. My husband said it tasted a little like a rum cake. Maybe next time I will add a little rum or make a rum glaze for topping. hmmm

I'll have to agree with the other reviewers that you need more than 1 can of apple pie filling. I had to add milk to the dough since it was too dry. i didn't have walnuts, so i used raisins in the topping instead.

This is one of the easiest recipes I have ever used. Excellent reviews from my company. This is a keeper. I like the idea of using it in a bunt cake pan, next time I will try that.

Absolutely fantastic! Couldn't believe that there is no other liquid except the apple pie filling. Went back and checked the recipe again. Very moist and everyone loved it!

This recipe couldn't be easier and the taste is amazing, especially when served warm. The preparation is minimal enough that it can be put together right before Thanksgiving dinner and served warm at the end of the meal. I baked this cake at 355 for 35 minutes and I also took everyone's advice and added 1.5 cans of the apple pie filling instead of just one. Also, I omitted the nuts because of taking the cake to a function where people could've possibly had nut allergies. I'm not sure if I'd like the taste of it with nuts anyway. If you like the taste of apple pie, this cake will knock your shoes off and since I don't put nuts in my apple pie, I doubt they are really a needed addition to this cake. Its up to you though. On another note, I like how the syrup in the apple pie filling substitutes for oil and makes the cake super moist. Eating a cake with fruit in it makes me feel less guilty while indulging. Great recipe.
