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.

A great cake, very moist and flavorful. Next time, I want to icing it with cream cheese frosting. It was great without it though. It got ate up fast. Thanks

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!

This is a delicious apple cake recipe! I loved the juicy slices of apples in the cake and it was packed full! At first I was concerned there was not enough batter, but it rises a lot so do not worry!

Pretty good, but overcooked a little. Next time I would reduce sugar and cooking time by 10 minutes.

This cake was easy and delicious. After reading all the reviews I was certainly torn; sweet apple vs tart apple, nuts vs no nuts, 2 cups sugar vs less sugar, frosting vs no frosting. What's a girl to do? Well, this is so unlike me, but I followed the recipe exactly and it was just right. I used 5 large Granny Smith apples. I think a tart apple is the way to go. If you leave out the nuts, the cake is going to taste sweeter so you might want to adjust the sugar. And I can't imagine adding frosting to this cake, but to each his own. I served mine with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and got rave reviews from everyone. I will definitely be making this again and again.

Very good. I made exactly as written. I would have liked a little more sugar/cinnamon inside and on top but it went over very well and I will certainly make again.

This was excellent. My husband, who doesn't eat fruit, liked the cake. That alone should say something. I used pecans instead of walnuts.

This is so easy to make and tastes wonderful. The only thing I changed was I made a cream cheese frosting for the top instead of cinnamon & sugar. I took this to school for the teachers and it was gone before lunch time. :)

Great recipe... I took the cake to work and I made all sorts of friends. The kind that I didn't know I had. Even those who professed that they didn't like sweets or cakes, raved about it. Definately, filing it away for further use. Great one.

This is wonderful recipe...I cannot believe I tried all the other apple cake recipes didnt try this one!! It has a wonderful texture and flavour. Unlike the German Apple cake it does not get too moist to handle properly. Unlike Apple CakeV it doesnt need a topping that sometimes makes it soggy.Is much moister than the Jewish apple cakes. I have made it 3times in the past two days (once by scaling down the recipe to half and baking in a 8x8 pan) and its turned out perfect each time. Of course I did make a few changes based on what previous reviewers said. I used only 1-3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup oil and cut the 4tsps of cinnamon to 2tsp. The best part is its easy and quick. While the kids hold the hand mixie and whip up the eggs and sugar....the apples are peeled and sliced..and doesnt take too long after that. Thanks, Ann.....this is a winner!!

Very good. I didn't think it was too sweet, but I also used Granny Smith apples so that may have made up for the sugar.
