This was really good Amy. Does not have an overly sweet taste. I used motts apples. I would use Granny Smith or Red Delicious next time. (we did not care for the motts apples too soft and we needed to use them up). A good firm apple is best for this recipe. Was very good and definitely a keeper. Thanks Amy for the quick and easy recipe. Oh MY I am keeping my previous post in here but I had to say that Amy I had cut too many apples and had to mix up a 2nd batch. Everyone really loved the first one. But my youngest devoured the second one. He started picking at it bit by bit till nothing was left. This was in a 9/13 pan and he had it gone in a day.

I love this recipe. I gave it to so many friends and they all love it. I even made it for the staff at my Family Doctors Office. It is so easy and tastes great.

I have apple trees and am always looking for new recipes to help me use the apples. This recipe is easy and delicious. The topping reminds me of snickerdoodle cookies.

I made this quickly one night for our family meal at church - when my mother asked me for the recipe I knew it was "really" good. I did add about 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 Tbs. of cornstarch and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the apples before putting them in the pan. Then I cut back on the cinnamon I put on the topping. Yum.

So easy and very good. Going to make it again for Holidays. Marge

A little heavy, a little on the greasy side, but taste was good. Will probably look for another recipe next time.

Not bad but not excellent. I, like others, used half the oil and half applesauce. Definitely more like cake topped apples than apple dumplings.

I made this twice in the same weekend because it got eaten up right away and both times it was quick to prepare and came out marvelously. It almost tastes like a sugar cookie mixed with apple and I like how there is no butter or Margarine. Thank you for posting this!

We serve this regularly during the apple picking season!!! My husband and kids love it, and I find it is easier than alot of other apple crisp recipes. Delicous cold or warm.

This is a very good recipe. I used 13 apples (the equivalent to a 3-lb bag) and I think I'd add even more next time. I used the whole cup of oil and I think it was just fine and not oily. I would prefer the dough not to get as crunchy (like actual "dumplings"), but it was very tasty and I will probably make it again.

Very Good. I substituted oil for 1/2 c. applesauce & 1/2 c. butter. Also used 1 c. sugar & 1/2 c. splenda.

Excellent recipe. I made two batches with 3 lbs of apples between them (just as good but I bet the full set of apples is even better). One I made with butter instead of oil and a tiny bit of apple sauce as well as 50% barley flour, it was rich and dense, quite nice. The second I made with almost all apple sauce and a tiny bit of butter with a light flour, it was fluffy and light and sweet. Both were excellent.

This was really good, granted I did make a few changes. I used half whole wheat flour/half white flour, 1/2 cup of raw sugar (instead of 1 1/2 cups), 1/2 cup margarine and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (in place of the oil), and spinkled about 1 tablespoon of raw sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the apples before covering them with the batter, also. It's not very sweet (considering I used 1/3 of the sugar suggested), but that's just how we like it! I used organic Braeburn apples.

This was one of the nicest, moist and tasty cakes I've ever made. I did substitute the oil for butter and apple sauce but otherwise followed the recipe fully. The cake was so flavoursome and looked great. It's very easy to make and only takes 40 minutes to cook! Definitley worthy of 5 starts!!

Will definitely fix again! My parents LOVED this when they came over one night. Not much time, so I whipped this up and poured a little carmel sauce over it!!! YUM! Cant beat the taste for the time involved, especially! Thanks for the recipe!!

This is awesome. Everyone loved it. I find cooking it a little bit longer makes it better.
