Wow - this was great! Very easy, moist but not soggy. I used three average-sized Granny Smith apples. There was plenty of apple filling and if I added any more, I think the batter would have run over the sides when it baked. Does not need any kind of glaze - just sprinkle with powdered sugar for a pretty presentation.

This was a very easy recipe to make. It was too 'cake' like for me (duh, made out of cake mix...lol), but my hubby, the apple coffeecake lover loved it! I made it on Thursday night, and by Saturday night it was history. Even the plate was licked clean. Next time I might add some nuts and chop the apples a little smaller. USE THE FULL AMOUNT OF APPLES! IT makes all the difference!

I shared this coffee cake with several people who all gave it a thumbs up. I have printed out the recipe for several people who wanted it. I'll definitely make this again. I used 4 different kinds of apples

A very moist, tasty cake. I did use 6 Granny Smith apples, and I found it was perfect. When I checked on the cake after 60 minutes, it was still very soft, so I baked an additional 10 minutes, only to find out later that the cake had started to burn. I managed to scrape the very top off, and it tasted fine. Next time I want to try it warm with the ice cream, but last night I just served it at room temperature. Glad I tried it though.

This is the yummiest coffee cake I've ever tasted. Everyone in my family keeps asking me to make more of this and I've already given this recipe to several people I know. I did use less apples (about 4.5 cups of apples) and I used pecans. This is well worth the time to make.

I made this for a work function (not mine, the hubby's...that work stuff is for the birds :-) And it looked sensational. I used granny smith apples, and they were fairly large, so by the time I sliced up 4 it looked like more than enough, so 4 is what I used. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly minus the pudding mix, as the cake mix was "double pudding" and I heeded the warnings about soggy cake. I did manage to sneak a taste where it wouldn't be noticed, and it was excellent, tangy, soft, and moist. The perfect companion for a good cup of coffee!

Not my favorite apple cake. I have a much better recipe from scratch I have been making for years. I made this for a sunday night dinner, I needed something fast and easy. It got mixed reviews - mostly that this cake tasted like a donut shop cake. My husband took the left overs to work and they went wild and could'nt stop eating. I'm not sure what to make of this cake. I found it far too sweet for my taste. I added skor/heath bar pieces (not with chocolate) to the top and it looked wonderful, melted beautifully. Not a bad cake in a pinch I suppose, but I definately prefer scratch.

Very good cake...apple pie = cake style. I agree with reviewer "MWINTEROD" who stated this cake needs a longer baking time as mine too was a little soggy in places but great just the same. Looked great, smelled great while baking and everyone in my family thought it tasted pretty darn good. It was even better the next day (and equally good warmed in the mircowave for a few sec and then a small scoop of vanilla ice cream!). Thanks for posting!

I have made this recipe several times and always get compliments. The recipe has been requested and shared with co-workers and friends. It becomes even more moist if served a day later. I highly recommend.

Everybody loved this cake, and I liked it alot, but it needs to cook way longer than the recipe says. My cake was pretty soggy in parts, but most people loved it and thought it was supposed to be that way. I may have screwed up by using a mix with pudding already in it and then adding more pudding - next time I will use regular mix or justr not add the pudding! I will make this again - my husband has eaten half of it in two days, so he's not complaining!

This cake was fantastic - I had a housefull of guests and needed something I could make in advance. I even used apples off the tree in my own backyard. Everyone LOVED it - it's quite easy to make. We had it for breakfast one day, and then later that night with ice cream.

This was WONDERFUL! It was so simple my 6 year old daughter was able to make the whole cake practically by herself! She used an apple wedge slicer to slice the apples and then I cut the wedges in half to make them the perfect thickness. What a big hit when she presented Grandpa with this delicious cake that she made!!!! Even the crumbs were eaten!

This recipe was absolutely delicious! I subsituted a little. I used a yellow cake mix but used a cream cheese instant pudding. I also used apple pie filling instead of just apples and also subsituted brown sugar instead of regular sugar and used pecans instead of walnuts. Great warmned up with a scoop of vanilla icecream!

Very easy to make! I did cut back on the number of apples, but next time I think I'll add the full amount. Very well received by friends and family. Definitely a make-again recipe!
