This is indeed a wonderful recipe. I made it according to the instructions mostly, except I used butter for most of the oil. I reduced the fat by 1/4 cup with no ill effects. I also sprinkled the apples with sugar and cinnamon as suggested by a previous reviewer. When I make this recipe again, I probably will NOT use extra sugar. I think I would enjoy the contrast between tart apples and the sweet topping. I recommend this!

This was very easy and very tasty. I sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on top of the apples but otherwise followed the recipe. Would definitely make again.

I was so excited to make this cake after all the great reviews, but it just didnt live up to my expectations. The cake part was good but the apples needed some cinammon and sugar on them. I think I'm a bigger fan of the traditional cake where you put the apples in the batter. I cut the oil to 3/4c. This recipe didnt taste bad, it just wasnt anything great.

L..ove this recipe. So easy, so simple to make. I used macintosh apples, because I like the sweet tart taste. [FILLED THE 9X13 DISH 3/4 FULL WITH THICK SLICES because of the settling of the apples cooking.] I did make a change to the liquid part of the recipe, because I do not use vegetable oil. I substituted 1/2 cup of melted Butter[1 stick] and added it to a 1/2 cup of Canola oil. It looked very oily, so I added 1/3 cup more of sifted flour, just enough so it was not sliding around the bowl, but still wet looking. I crumbled the wet dough on top of the apples and baked. The aroma was heavenly, and the topping was the most beautiful golden brown and flakey.[Forgot to pat down the batter]. We really enjoyed the taste and texture of this recipe. Thank you Amy S. for this "Recipe Box Keeper". PS. Apple Pie Spice added a nice touch to my apples for my second Apple Dumpling Cake.

This recipe is great! I made it exactly as directed and it turned out fabulous! Then I made it a second time and swapped out the oil for applesauce and it didn't turn out NEARLY as well. It still tasted okay, so for a low fat dessert it's possibly 3 stars. But the next time I make it, I'll follow the directions exactly. The topping was far better that way, and not at all greasy. Thanks for the recipe! It's a new favorite!

This is really good! I followed others advice and sprinkled the apples with cinnamon and a bit of sugar and I reduced the oil to 1/4 cup and used 3/4 cup of applesauce to round out the cup. Very, very yummy with vanilla ice cream on top. I also just ate a bowl with milk on top and it was great!

I was not too pleased with this. I think the oil made it too heavy.

All of my guests were doubting they could eat any dessert after dinner, but each one ate a huge serving of this w/French Vanilla ice cream on top. I will definetely be making this again. As others suggested, I tossed the apples with sugar and cinnamon and used 3/4 C. Applesauce and just 1/4 C. Oil. It seemed a little dense to me, but everyone loved it. Ice cream is a must.

This is a very easy and tasty apple recipe. In order to make it low fat, I substituted egg whites for the whole eggs and 1 C apple sauce for the oil. It is still very good. I'll definitely be making this one again. Thanks!

I made this recipe for a family dinner. They have not stopped raving about it. They keep asking when I'm making it again. I put some cinnamon and sugar on the apples and used half applesauce and water so it wouldn't be to greasy. It was great. My family would rather have the apple dumpling cake instead of applte pie.

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.
