this cake came out great! i made it for my sister's birthday and everyone loved it, even the kids who normally don't like nuts. i thought the caramel sauce was a little to sweet/buttery tasting so i only poured half of it on the cake, even so the cake tasted fabulous. next time i may buy caramel topping and heat it up since i perfer it to the caramel in the recipe.

this is the best apple cake I've ever eaten. I ended up using probably 4 cups of chopped apples and pecans instead of walnuts. Also, I had some getting-stale coconut macaroon cookies which I crumbled up with the apples--YUM! I used 1 cup of oil and only 1 cup of sugar. I made a powdered sugar glaze and drizzled it over the top. I ended up with a completely different cale, but it was great. I'll make it again for sure.

This cake is absolutely delicious. I left out the nuts, only becasue I didn't have any. I think they would add a wonderful flavor though. I also used part white sugar instead of only brown sugar bc I was almost out. Still it tasted great. The cake absorbs the glaze which helps to make it super moist. This cake can be heavy and rich though, so if you are looking for a light dessert, this is not it. It is wonderfuly sweet. I could see adding more apples though to enhance the apple flavor.

i excluded the nuts in this recipe and it went all wrong. the cake was crumbly and way to sweet. i'm not sure if i did anything wrong but the "glaze" just seeped in and soaked the cake and made it supersweet.

What I have to say boils down to bsically this. "WOW"! I'm not very experienced with baking but I found this recipe pretty easy.As far as time goes if you use fresh apples the pealing and chopping can eat up some time but the end product is deffinately worth it. My son didn't like the cake but that was after he found out it had nuts in it. (He eats them all the time and doesn't know it.) I took this cake to church function and a person said - "I want to just go and put my face in it." It went over very well. It has a very full flavor and is great with a cup of coffee or milk.

Very good! Before adding the apples to the batter, I tossed them with a teaspoon of cinammon and 1/4 cup brown sugar. This spiced it better. I skipped the sugar glaze/topping, which cuts down on the richness and served with whipped topping instead. Moist and delicious!

This cake is very moist and has an excellent texture. But, I minimized the amount of oil and brown sugar and it still was great! 3/4 cup of oil & 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

I made this for my family last night, and found it very tasty, but too rich for us. It makes alot, so I sent the leftovers in to work today with my husband and everybody there loved it.

I made this as written and I must say I found it to be too rich after a few bites. But still a wonderful and easy recipe.

This cake is delicious. So rich, though. When I make it again I will replace the oil with apple sauce, as previous users have suggested, to cut down some on the fat and calories.
