Great recipe and so easy! I used blueberry pie filling because that's what I had on hand and got rave reviews at our tailgate. Someone even called it the Blueberry Miracle and 3 people asked for the recipe. I put the entire can of filling in the middle and used frozen blueberries tossed with sugar on the top. Also substituted buttermilk for the milk in the cake and the icing since I had some leftover from another recipe. Other changes: used 1/2 cup Splenda instead of 1 cup white sugar and doubled the nuts and brown sugar. Thanks for the great recipe - my husband declared it a "keeper" which means it definitley rates 5 stars!

This was pretty good. I personally would have liked it to be a little sweeter and like others, agree that it needs more apples. I did one layer/can of apples and added a little apple pie spice to the batter. My son and husband thinks this is "da bomb" tho!

Made this for my daughter and her girls night...they loved it! It was so moist and flavorful. Will be sure to make this one again. Thanks so much for the recipe.

We liked this, and it was quick and easy. I also used two cans. The one thing I wasn't crazy about was some baking powder aftertaste, I'll try it with a bit less next time.

I made the recipe exactly as written the first time and it was very good. I needed a quick, but homemade, dish for DH's snack day at work. I didn't have apple pie filling, so substituted raspberry pie filling and omitted the cinnamon -- DELISH!! Raspberry pie filling is sometimes hard to find, but I'll be stocking up when I find it. It was better than the apple! Very moist and tasty!

This recipe is great just the way it is. I can't wait to try it with other fruit fillings. I added a handfull of oats to the brown sugar topping and it wasn't bad. This recipe is quick and easy and a definite keeper!

I only had one can of pie filling -- so instead of dividing the apples, I put all of the filling in the middle layer. I chopped the apples before spreading. The next time I make this, I will double the amount of the topping and glaze ... just to add a touch more sweetness.

I made this for an office pot luck, they all liked it. I thought that it needed a little cinnamon in the batter, a little bland for me, but not too sweet. Great with coffee, will make this again. Thanks for a great recipe.

Excellent cake. It was not too sweet and perfect with a cup of coffee or tea or even for breakfast. I used fresh apples tossed wiht some brown sugar and cinnamon instead of pie filling and I feel it gave it a fresher taste. I will definately make it again!
