I love this cake!! My caramel topping however didn't come out very well. I followed the recipe to a T--twice!--and both times it ended up as an oily gloop.

This cake is absolutely incredible. My daughter is not fond of cake but this won her over. Caramel and apple combo is so tasty and fruity. I added whipped cream/confectioners in the middle and on top so I could decorate it for her 17th BDay.

I had to cook the cake for over 60 minutes. I think it was 65 but it was longer than stated. I would have also cut down on the amount of oil - it took a while for the cake to be a cake after it was cooked. I let the cakes cool for a half a day to a day and they were MUCH better consistency and taste. Let them rest over night and then serve. I ate them with out the icing - just the cake. It was a big hit.. not too sweet but nice. I added more apples than called for and put in about 3/4c brown sugar. Would have been good to put some cinnamon in it - I put it on the top. I would make this cake again.

This was a good cake. I used 3/4 c. of oil and about 1 cup of applesauce. I also added about a teaspoon of cinnamon ot the dry ingred. I used 3 apples, 2 granny smith's and one gala. My biggest problem was the bake time seemed to be WAY OFF. I kept adding 5 minutes so many times I lost track of the total time it took to bake this cake. I would say close to 60 minutes though. I thought maybe I should up the temp to 350, but just kept checking it every 5 minutes. The edges browned first but the middle seemed to take forever to bake. I took it to a New Year's party and everyone liked it but my son. I frosted it with carmel frosting I. I don't know if I will make it again. Might try another recipe and see which is better. Not a bad cake though once you can get it baked.

This is it! Make this in a 9 x 13 for a tailgate party, Thanksgiving, or just to show off for your friends. I poured the icing over it while it was still a little warm & it was wonderful.

This is really good. I made it as a 9x13 and i think i could have cooked it a little longer because the middle was just a touch doughy. I added some cinnamon and it definately helped. This tastes to be almost like an apple blondie. I will make it again!

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. It was FANTASTIC!! I didn't make the topping, omitted the walnuts, and added a little cinnamon and it was absolutely wonderful. Also, I didn't make a layer cake, I just made two rounds and kept one at took the other to a small get together and everyone loved it. So the next day I made two more rounds and took them to work and all 16 pieces were gone in about 15 minutes. Everyone was raving about how good it was. This is one to I'll definitely be holding on to.

OMG!!! This recipe is awesome! I made it and shared some with my neighbors because they gave me all these apples and they had to have the recipe. The only thing is I added 1 teaspoon cinnamon and since I had no walnuts I left them out. I've made this cake twice this week. This is a definite keeper, I hope Jessica sees this thanks, Jessica. Thanks for sharing. Signed, The Grinch

Made in long 9x13 pan. Final taste very good however don't attempt to make this in layers. Very heavy cake and batter is like cookie dough. Carmel topping is very tasty but not "frosting" at all. This makes a great single layer coffee cake.

Oh my gosh this was great!! The caramel sauce was to die for. Double it for sure and pour on at serving time. I tried it in the microwave and it didn't get real thick until it cooled, but I probably overcooked it because it was not as brown as the picture showed. I topped with extra pecans because I love them.

Nice, nice, nice!!! I adjusted the recipe for high altitude (7000 feet)which was easy. Baked it as a layer cake with double frosting. I have yet to get any leftovers...so I can't rate them! Fabulous cake!

This was very delicious. I didn't make the frosting (I don't think it's needed, the cake is pretty sweet on its own). Nevertheless, I did had to add a little spice to make it more flavorful. I ended up modifying it to taste more like another cake that I found in this site, the "Apple pound cake." Texture and apple-dose is perfect.

Made this for my family for dinner because I was looking for a recipe without chocolate in it because my Dad is allergic to it. Everyone loved it-especially the yummy icing. It was delicious. Next time I will try to make-it over to be healthier, but it certainly tasted great as is.

I made this cake for a co-workers Birthday and it was a huge hit, it's so moist it's unbelieveable, the one thing thats wrong on the recipe though is the time to bake it, It took 60 minutes not 25 so make a note of that.. I also made the caramel sauce the night before, left it in the saucepan all night to cool then frosted the cake the next morning...

This was such a great dessert! My family loved it! I made it for thanksgiving. Howvever, I did sub. 1 cup of apple sauce for the oil and used only 1/4 cup of oil instead. I also had to cook it for about 5-10 mins longer. Other than that it was so good, every family will love it!

absolutely incredible! I used 6 Macintosh apples and 2 cups of chopped walnuts - it took about 45 minutes to cook. Otherwise the recipe was perfect, and the cake was a huge hit. It's been requested by many that I make it again next week for another party!

I made this last night for Rosh Hashonah dinner and it was a major hit. Not at all like the apple cakes I had grown up with. I followed the suggestions of others and added cinnamon to the recipe and a little more apples than suggested. WOW! Moist, delicious and the caramel icing just took it up a notch (to quote someone else). This one is a keeper and will be used year round. Thanks Jessica
