Excellent cake. I've made this for years and everyone who tries it loves it. One thing to mention, the batter will be VERY thick, so it doesn't "pour" very well over the apples. It's best to scoop it out and drop it by spoonfuls and then spread it over the apples. The results are well worth the time.

This cake was amazing. Not only was it easy to make but it turned out better than I had planned. I made it for a potluck luncheon at work and they couldn't believe that I had made it! I'll be making this cake again and again. Thank you!

I have never had so much luck with a recipe. Everyone who tried it asked me for the recipe. I followed the recipe exactly! I will be making this again and again.

This cake was sooo incredibly good! Normally for me, if a dessert doesn't have chocolate in it, I don't consider it worth my time and effort. I made an exception with this cake to use up some apples and I'm so so glad I did. For those worried about the time consuming nature of chopping, dicing, and slicing -- I suggest the use of a food processor. I chopped the apples in fairly large chunks and pulsed them in the food processor until they were small but not turned to mush. I did the same with the walnuts. This saved a huge amount of time and still gave the cake all of the "chunkiness" it needed. This cake is very similar in denseness and sweetness to a good carrot cake, but even better in my opinion. Definitely take the time to try this!

This is, indeed, a labor intensive recipe to make, as it does take a while to peel and chop all of the apples, BUT your efforts will be well rewarded with a moist, dense, rich cake. The good news?? This delicious cake doesn't take nearly as long to eat as it does to make!

I had a couple of oops moments as I tried to make this cake. I only had 1/3 cup of oil, so I used my son's applesauce cup in addition to. My husband is from Austria and his biggest complaint with american desserts is the amount of sugar we use, so I cut that in half. I added a cup extra of apples. At the end of it was a wonderful dessert that everyone loved. I would do this again.

This is an absolutely delicious cake! I made it for my son's 8th birthday, and he's requested it multiple times since then. Extremely moist- definately not a finger food, doesn't work as cupcakes (they were really tasty, but messy!)

If I could give this 10 stars I would. It is a very dense cake and the frosting makes it even richer so be prepared for that, (I usually make this for my work, hubby's work and parties because a little goes a long way!) but also be prepared to be asked to make this cake again and again. This is my most requested cake by far. It is so good and perfect to make in the fall. You will love this. If the frosting is too much, the cake is good enough to eat on it's own. Just try this! Yummy!

A friend brought this to a party. She asked me if I had tasted it and said it was "to die for." She was right! I hounded her until she sent me the recipe. I have made it several times and everyone loves it! When I was out of town, I was delighted to find the recipe on my wonderful Allrecipes site. Thanks for sharing! My friend suggested icing the cake while it was hot. That works well.

This cake is awesome!! I made 4 of these for a luncheon at work. Everyone loved them and I've had sooo many requests for the recipe. And they're just as good without the frosting...in fact one of the cakes was devoured "naked". The most "difficult" thing about this recipe is peeling the apples! Will definitely make this again and again!!!!

My son had to make a German recipe for his German class. We decided on this recipe because I had most of the ingredients here at home.Not knowing how it would turn out,I followed the recipe and the finished product was SO wonderful. I wished he didn't have to take it to school. This is one of the best recipes I've gotten from this site. Thank-you Michele for submitting it.***Tip*** If you use a Kitchen aide, the mixing process is a piece of cake. LOL Also using 8oz of cream cheese for the frosting gives it alittle more cheese cake like taste. 5 star recipe !!!!!!!! Midge

I've made this twice, and it is a definite "make it again!" dessert. Since I've made it twice, I doubled the frosting ingredients to have a thicker frosting on top.

If you like carrot cake, you'll love this rich and moist apple cake. The nuts give it a crunchy texture, the frosting is creamy and not too sweet. Make it for large gatherings and cut the pieces smaller, a little goes a long way. Be sure and refrigerate left overs.
