Great cake that is super moist and not overly sweet. Made this a few times. Use any type of apples except the bitter ones. No granny smith or such. Fuji apples are my preference but any others will do. Easy and delicious. The top will look bumpy but I serve with a dollop of cinnamon whipped cream.

Mine turned out like an apple crisp but none-the-less it was delicious. I did include other reviewer's suggestions (mixed the apple slices in cinnamon & brown sugar; cut in butter to the flour mixture). Thank you for the very tastey recipe. **** just made this again & this time I added a can of cherry pie filling over the fresh apple slices. It was a hit *again*

It was good! It was just more cakey than what I thought it would be. Next time maybe I'll use more apples.

Easy and delicious! I made it as I had everything on hand and needed a quick recipe. I used 1/2 cup of applesauce and reduced the oil by 1/2 cup. All the ladies loved it at the party!!

Absolutely delish! Next time I will only cook for 30-35 minutes so the topping will not be as crunchy!

This is a nice dessert and very easy to make but it in no way reminds me of traditional apple dumplings.

Wow....I was surprised how wonderful this was! I used fresh apples off the tree, so I have no clue what variety they were, but they worked perfectly. Apples were soft and the topping was superb....would go great with ice cream. Thanks!

WONDERFUL!!! I gave 4 stars because I did adapt it a bit due to reviews. I mixed together a bit of sugar, a bit of flour, and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon then stirred up the apples in it, used a bit less sugar in the cake mix, and mixed a little sugar with the cinnamon for the topping. It reminds me a bit of snickerdoodles on top of apples, hubby says it's sort of like an apple coffee cake. I used apples I got at the farmers market, can't remember what type they are but they're definitely tart & firm.
