There's nothing amazing about this recipe, it's just a really good breakfast bread (like zucchini bread or banana bread). I like that it was a simple recipe so my daughter could help and cooking it in the pie pan was nice and easy, too. (not sure what's going on with the picture that goes with this recipe because clearly that's not the same shape) And we all loved the butter sauce but i agree with the others that it calls for way too much - i made a half-batch and i still had a lot left over.

This cake is like tasting Fall, it was moist and apple-e-delicous! I took the advice of previous reviews and checked the cake after 30 minutes, and it was done. Also I cut the sauce in half. Wonderful recipe! Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful cake. I served mine with a white chocolate glaze instead of the butter sauce (had the glaze made already and was too lazy to make butter sauce lol). Everyone had seconds and it was gone in a flash.

This cake was amazing! I saved the butter sauce in a jar to serve later. Everything was perfect! Even my not so big apple eaters loved it!

The cake is absolutely delicious. Followed previous advice and added a bit more apple, and kept the apples chunky. I also halved the butter sauce recipe. I am only giving this 4 stars because there's no advice given on what to do with the butter sauce if the cake is not being served immediately. I would not recommend adding all of the sauce to the cake because it would become too soggy. I only used a small portion of the sauce for what was being served immediately, and didn't bother to reheat the sauce at future servings. The good news is the cake is delicious without the sauce. Next time I will not make the sauce!

Excellent, especially the sauce! (Half the original amount of sauce is plenty for one cake.)

I have many similar apple cake recipes but all have been made with oil. This one is much better - butter makes the difference. Half the sauce is enough or it is just too sweet. Thanks for submitting an apple cake that is superior.

Great recipe! I cut the nutmeg down to 1/4 tsp. Will cut it down to 1/8 next time I make this recipe. Although we like nutmeg, it overpowered all the other flavors. Could be because we use organic nutmeg - which is definitely more flavorful than conventional. Also took other reviewers advice & only made half the qty. of sauce. Sweet enough to use as a drizzled topping. New family favorite!!!

I use this recipe all the time. My fiancé's favourite cake is apple and he says this tastes even better than his mom's! I use a basket cakelette pan from Williams-Sonoma, which has a perfect ditch for butter or caramel sauce. The butter sauce for the recipe is way too much, though. You only need about one third to one half the recipe listed.

First of all, the picture doesn't look like it was made in a glass pie plate. Secondly, I don't understand why we were not to grease the pie plate. All in all, I was disappointed in the cake and will not make it again. After reading the reviews, I was really looking forward to the butter sauce. The taste was no special, the color wasn't good, and it was very sweet. The cake wasn't bad. It was moist and the flavor was all right. Sorry, Robin. Katherine

Perfect! I've done this recipe 3 times and it's a good call to add one more apple and you may decrease the sugar a little bit; the last time I divided the flour by 3, one third all purpose flour, one third whole wheat flour and one third soy flour to add protein and it came out great! I even served it without the butter sauce and it didn't need it.

Fantastic rich and moist cake with ALL THE BUTTER SAUCE. I disagree with the reviewers who said they'd use half the sauce. I've made other cakes similar in style and the cake should be drenched in the sauce, not just drizzled with it. I used 3 apples, grated 1 and 1/2 and just chopped the other 1 and 1/2 for great texture. I also added a (very generous) teaspoon of amaretto to the sauce. The guys looooved it!

The sauce definitly makes the cake! So yummy! The cake itself was very moist, but I feel it was lacking in flavor. Next time I make this, I will try to make it more apple-y, maybe by adding applesauce.

OMG!!! This cake is incredible and sooo easy to make. I was looking for a butter sauce similar to the sauce Applebea's serves on their Blondie Sundae and figured I'd try the cake as well. It didn't last long. This one is a keeper!

PHENOMENAL cake, and the sauce tops it off excellently. Sauce is like Applebee's Maple Brownie Sundae sauce ... mmmmmmm! Husband and children (ages 6 and 9) loved it. The best compliment? After serving small seconds of the dessert, my son asked, "Can I have thirds?"
