This was great. I used it as a Christmas gift to my family. I did exclude any nuts, due to it being a gift and allergy potential.

I never write reviews despite using many wonderful recipes from this website, but I just had to this time since there has not been enough reviews for such a wonderful recipe! These were so yummy, I couldn't even stop licking the bowl! I made a couple adjustments 1.) Used butter flavored shortening 2.) subsituted 1 cup of the sugar with dark brown suger 3.) Omitted the raisins. Filled the pint jars 2/3 and that was about perfect to get a full jar when they were done, needed to bake an extra 10 min. (give or take). I made one in a quart jar, but will not do that again since I coudln't get the cake out (despite being a wide mouth jar). Pints are better because they are truly straight sided if you use the wide mouth jars (and the cake can slide right out).

This is AMAZING I ended up having to bake it for an extra 15 minutes. I suggest just checking it every 5 minutes after the 45 minute mark. If you don't like your spice cake too spicy, I might suggest cutting back a little on the nutmeg and such. Over all, this is the best apple cake I've had, and the idea of baking in the jars is awesome. I have used the idea to bake all sorts of cakes and quick breads to send to my boyfriend who is deployed with the Army.

Hello to everyone This is my first try at this site. I was a chef by trade most of my life. But, I went into nursing so I kinda got away from a lot of cooking. But last March I was in a terrible car accident and haven't been able to drive or work. When things got better I began canning. I had never done it before. It is fantastic. I needed to find something to do with the 75 or so pints of applesauce so I went on line and found this recipe. It was great so easy and very tasty. I adjusted the recipe only slightly and here is what I did. A. Used canola spray for the jars. B. Reduced the sugar by 1/2 C. I used 3 cups of homemade applesauce in place of the apples. I figured the Canola oil had less of the bad fats and it was so easy to use. I am using these for gifts and everyone I know is older and needs to wach the sugar so I reduced it. Besides the applesauce added sweetness. I can submit a picture of how it came out. My only concern is how ong it will hold. The Jars all sealed fine. Geat recipe great idea.

Very good! Almost more of an apple bread than cake, but everyone loved it. It's a little more work, but worth it. I think sealing them in jars keeps them ultra moist.

I made this as a teacher gift for the first day of school. My husband wouldn't let me seal one jar so he could try it and it disappeared! The only thing that I did different was I omitted the raisins and nuts.
