I just don't think this recipe was all that great. I used less oil and could still taste it. This recipe reminded me of my mother's apple upside-down cake which is why I tried it. I used Bakers Joy on the pan and then sprinkled the bottom of pan with cinnamon-sugar then put apples in and sprinkled the apples with it again. They were good.

This is delicious! Made this last night as dessert for "Build-Your-Own'Sub" night, 5 kids (2 were kids' friends); 2 adults. I followed the previous reviewer MaMaDC and sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on the apple before the batter. The house smelled heavenly; everyone kept asking what it was. I used 3 lbs of Macintosh apples. I think next time I'll use tablespoons to dollop the batter, as I made it first and it was thick. Didn't affect the taste, still wonderful. We didn't have ice cream or whipped topping, so we topped it with milk. Can't wait to try it with french vanilla ice cream! It's going into my recipe file for a regular in this house's menu rotation.

I made this as one of our Thanksgiving desserts today. It had a wonderful aroma while cooking and really lived up to its smell! I served it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream - yummy! I did substitute one half cup of oil with applesauce and also sprinkled cinnamon and sugar over the apples before covering with batter. Such a warm, delicious dessert!

I love apple dumplings and this recipe takes all the work out of making that but with the very same result. I left the peels on the Fuji apples and sprinkles some cinnamon on the apples prior to topping. It just added to the flavor.

This recipe is relatively easy to make. After preparing the apples, my 2 and a half year old helped me measure and mix the rest of the ingredients. She loved pressing the mix into the apples. The house smelled wonderful as it baked. Next time I will substitute some applesauce for half the oil because it seemed a bit greasy. It tastes similiar to apple crisp but not as sweet.

Excellant. Doesn't look that attractive but tastes delicious. I would recommend using any mixture of apples, other than granny smith. When I used Granny Smith apples they were too tart for the dumpling cake topping and didn't soften up enough while baking. I also used only 1/2 of the oil called for and substituted applesauce for the other half. Tasted delcious and cut down on the fat.
