Just tried this recipe and it was very flavorful. Enjoyed the simplicity of putting it together. I may double the apples but if not it is very good.

This review is for the cream cheese topping. We made pumpkin pancakes and were looking for a yummy topping for them. I made the cream cheese topping along with a cinnamon syrup, and they were both great. The cream cheese topping is basically like a rich creamy icing, and it melted nicely over the top and had a great flavor. We will definitely make it again.

I made this for my brother's birthday because he wanted an apple pie, and I thought I'd try something different. He gave it a 3.5, so I rated it as 3 because he didn't think it was to die for, and it was very crumbly.

I am currently expecting and craving French Apple Pie. As having a whole pie/cake in the house would be dangerous, I made this for Thanksgiving to share...hoping there would be leftovers to carry home. I did use a 1/2 cup of raisins instead of walnuts as my family does not like nuts in their desserts. I stewed the raisins and used that hot liquid for the hot water required later in the recipe. I also thinned out the cream cheese icing to a glaze consistency. Next time I may add more apples as other reviewers have suggested. Thank you Marbalet for posting this recipe; as others have stated this is a great recipe for the pie crust challenged!

F A B U L O U S! You will not regret trying this one!! :) Only thing I did different was I added dried cranberries instead of nuts. Absolutely loved this, so did my husband and 18mo old! :D Will make again and again I know it! :D UPDATE: I made this again today, but didn't add the cranberries! It is great both ways! I wouldn't change a thing about this recipe, and yes, it is comparable to a carrot cake, just with apples, but use the frosting, it compliments this cake perfectly! I was craving it ever since the last time I made it, so this is the 2nd time already in less than 2wks. LOL! Yes it is that good! :)

Made this for easter, everyone raved about it! i let the topping stand by the warm oven so it was very easy to apply; i also put a ring of dried cranberries around the sides. Then we popped it in the fridge for it to set, after 5 hours it looked so gourmet. A lot of people compared it to carrot cake but with apples. and MUCH easier to make than carrot cake. i'm losing my taste for apple dishes but if someone requested an apple dessert, i'd reach for this recipe again. (i also didnt have nutmeg fo i used a 1/2 tsp of all spice, and i put the apples in after mixing everything else by SPOON. very thick batter.)
