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.

Excellent cake! My husband loved it - said it's a cross between a pie and a cake. I used a combination of Mutsu and Macintosh apples. Also sprinkled a mixture of 2 Tbsp. sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon over the top before baking. Very tasty - I'll be making this often.

This recipe was so easy to make! I couldn't believe that I actually made it. It's something that I would expect to get at a bakery. The ingrediants are so simple. I didn't have to go out to buy anything. It was just too easy to make and it tasted great...but a little greasy. I used 3/4 cup of oil instead of 1 cup and I also sprinkled a little cinnamon and brown sugar on the apples before I poured the mixture over it.

This is a very easy, yet delicious recipe. I cut the recipe in half & baked it in a 9" baking dish. The next time I make it, I won't cut it in half. It's also very good served warm with milk.

I made this recipe 3 times within a month over the holidays last year, and finally found this again on this site (I had forgotten what it was called!) This is an incredible dessert, and vanilla ice cream just makes it better. The pastry has so many textures within itself. A total delight.

This is a very quick recipe, I didn't even peel the apples and it was very good.

I made this for Thanksgiving and it couldn't be easier. I was nervous about a cup of oil but I guess it works. I will try this again as we had so much food no one got around to eating it that day. My husband ended up with it the rest of the week and said it was very good.

This was a really easy recipe. I had a strong desire to add something to the apples before I cooked it but I decided to follow the instructions and it turn out great. Its not overly sweet and tastes great with whip cream. This is a dessert for a Pot Luck dinner.

The recipe was easy to make. The taste was not as I expected. We did not think it tasted like apple dumplings and there was only 2 pieces missing from the cake pan, had to throw the rest out.

Never tasting Apple Dumplings I was a bit nervous. Most of my friends are vegetarian, so I used Vanilla flavored yogurt instead of the eggs, (3 tbs to each egg). I served this at a couples Baby Shower in the Fall. I baked it for 45 minutes and covered it in aluminum foil and let it sit for 4 hours....it was warm and delicious! They all loved it!
