Loved this! The only changes I made were to add some brown sugar on top of the apples and to top the batter with cinnamon sugar. Very good! Loved the apples, they were tender and sweet and the "dumpling" part was really tasty! I will definitely make again.

No way. This was not good. I mean if you want some dry cake with apple on the bottom then this is it. I added brown sugar to the apples and nutmeg.It still was lacking. What a waste of my good apples!!!!!

My husband and I just loved this cake. Goes great with vanilla ice cream! I made some tweaks. I only used 3/4 cup of canola oil. I poured a 1/4 tablespoon of melted butter and sprinkled brown sugar and cinnimon on the apples. I put a teaspoon of vanilla in the batter. Once the batter was on the apples I sprinkled brown sugar on top along with the cinnimon. It turned out great. I will be making it more often.

I was always afraid to bake with apples. I don't know why. This was very easy and very delicious! Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. I won't be afraid to bake with apples again, and will be making this for company.

Yummy. Easy to make. Very versatile. This is excellent with breakfast too. I only used 1 cup of sugar. Still plenty sweet. I also substituted apple sauce for the oil. Still very tasty.

Delicious and easy to make! I made a few changes ... sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on the apples after placing them in the pan. Use 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup apple sauce instead of the oil, and chop up some apple to add to the batter. This makes it very light and almost fluffy, with a lovely apple flavour...

This was really good. I didn't know what to expect but was happy with it. My husband doesn't like apple crisp, so I thought I would try it. Well he loved it!! It was really easy and I used 1/2 oil and 1/2 butter and added a little vanilla to the batter. I also put cinnamon and sugar on the apples. I mistakenly also added cinnamon to the batter instead of on top. It was still good though. Next time I will use macintosh as the apples I had were kind of bland.

This recipe is great! I did follow the advice of some of the other reviews by using only 1/2 the cup of oil and applesauce for the other half cup and sprinkling sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and bits of butter on top of the apples before pouring the batter over top. I also decided to add a couple teaspoons of vanilla to the batter before pouring over the apples. Everyone loved it. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

I loved the look of this recipe. My topping looked like tiny crumble pieces...not like the picture that is posted. It actually looked like something you'd buy at a bakery...beautiful! However, I only gave this 4 stars b/c I think something needs to be added to the apples. I added brown and white sugar, flour, cinnamon and lemon juice and it still wasn't a very sweet apple pie/crumble...it was a little bland. That said, my apples weren't naturally sweet, but even with sweet apples, I think some sugar and spices would enhance this recipe. All in all, I was pleased when I ate it with vanilla ice cream...and my guests liked it too!

I was skeptical to making this recipe because it was so simple, but once I did and tried it.. I LOVED IT. I did find that it was a bit too sweet, but that could be because of the apples I used. It's wonderful the next morning as well! DELICIOUS! Definatly a keeper! Thank you!

Loved this in its original form, just added cinnamon and sugar to the raw apples. Tried the variation with the applesauce in the crust-while it was tasty-it just wasn't the same.

My husband, who hates apple desserts has just declared this the best apple dessert he's ever had. And that's saying something! Following some other reviewers, I used half butter, half oil, and half brown sugar, half white. I also chopped the apples and tossed them with a little sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg before putting them in the pan. Will definitely make this again.

I love the simplicity of this dessert; served warm with whipped cream, it was a hit. I did decrease the oil to 1/2 cup and added 1/2 cup applesauce instead. I used 4 large Braeburn apples and tossed the slices with flour, sugar and cinnamon. Adding a little cinnamon to the dry ingredients helped too.
