Yummy! Moist from the apples and cinnamon-y! Smelled great in the oven! Note: I used a little less cinnamon and sugar.

It was too sweet, and kind of like eating a sponge. Won't make again.

Good cake. Too sweet even with GS apples. And it might have had something to do with what I did, but it crumbled and was hard to cut (probably because apples were sliced instead of cubed). Not too many second helpings with this one though. Maybe I'll try tweeking it a little next time. Thanks for the recipe.

I agree that this is a 5 star cake. I made some alterations (which don't always work) but did with this recipie :) (I just wonder if mixing the eggs & sugar for 15 minutes is really necessary, rather than a shorter period of time. I plan to experiment that in the future.)

Very moist cake, not too sweet. But you must beat the eggs and sugar for the full 15 minutes.

Everyone absolutely loved this recipe!!! I made it for my brother-in-laws birthday and it was a huge hit. My sister-in-law said she thought it was the best cake she had ever eaten. I made a frosting with creamcheese, powdered sugar, and cinnamon that complemented the cake very well. Will make again. Thanks

This is one of many apple cake recipes I've seen. So, I was disappointed a bit. But the cake was very good and I liked it very much.

I was sure surprised about the huge amount of apples and very little batter but this cake baked just perfect. Very delicious even without the nuts and cinnamon (personal preference - don't care for either). It got a bit soggy on the bottom on the second day - any suggestions? Unfortunately I don't know what kind of apples I used (they were very big and red-green :) ) and I liked the sweetness of the cake just fine, but some of my guests mentioned it would be too sweet. I assume I used sweet tasting apples and would cut the sugar down next time I bake it. If I use tart apples I'll stay with the suggested 2 cups. However – thanks for this really tasty recipe, it is sure a keeper (for me and my guests). By the way – it served 18 people as dessert with vanilla ice cream.

I loved this recipe as is. My family enjoyed it and I will definitely make this again. I did dice the apples up into small pieces and that made a lot of pieces but it made it so you got apple in every bite. I also doubled the topping to make it cover more of a 9X13 pan. You could do it either way, but I love sugar/cinnamon mixture. I will make this one many times over, and after one time I made a second the same day for company. Loved this one!

This came out delicious while my whole house smelled great. The only change I made was to leave out the nuts because I don't like nuts. I added 3/4 cup extra flour. I was nervous because of what others wrote about too much sugar, but I tasted the batter and felt that I needed to add even. I added about 4 tablespoons and it really came out perfect. I did use granny smith (sour) apples, though, so perhaps that's why it needed the extra sugar.

This cake was very good. It was so moist and loaded with apples. Even my husband loved it and he doesn't like anything that isn't chocolate. I will definately make this cake again.

I made cupcakes and diced the apple instead of slicing it. They came out great and I will be using this recipe again.

Pretty good, but the layers of apple were a little weird, and made the cake difficult to cut/unattractive.

I made this recipe as written, and was somewhat disappointed with the finished result. Next time I'm going to either chop the apples into smaller pieces, use a less firm apple...I used Granny Smith...or slice the apples, but instead of mixing them into the batter I'd like to try arranging the slices on top, and then sprinkle them with the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Also, next time I'll cut down a bit on the amount of cinnamon that the recipe calls for. We felt that the cake itself was overpowered by the apple slices and the cinnamon. My son enjoyed this warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but after the first day no one seemed too interested in eating anymore of it. Thanks for sharing this recipe, and I will try it again with the above modifications.

This recipe is a keeper, moist and delicious. The only alteration was I added an extra tsp. of cinnamon. It was the best tasting apple cake I have ever made, my company attested to it.

Pretty good cake. A bit dry, maybe next time I will use applesauce instead of oil. I drizzled with a cream cheese glaze for a little treat.

This actually was the first cake I've ever made and it turned out awesome! Living in VT in the fall it is hard not to pick up some apples but how many can you eat. This made for a great dessert with friends for game night. I used macintosh & granny smith apples and covered the top with walnuts.

Every fall I love to make a recipe with apples. I usually opt for my grandmother's apple crisp recipe. This year I wanted to try something new. I thought this apple cake recipe was delicious. I did cut down on the sugar a by 1/4 of a cup and thought it was great. I love cream cheese frosting but thought that it was too much for the cake. Next time I will leave off the cream cheese frosting and just do a streusal topping. The cake itself was excellent though!
