Great cake and easy to make with ingredients most have on hand. It is moist and nice for a fall or German themed party Here are a couple tips: Use Granny smith apples-many reviewers said it was a little sweet so this tart apple does the trick. It definately need the full baking time or a couple minutes more. I also might pulse the apples in the food processor next time so they blend into the batter more. I would use just 4 medium apples-don`t worry about measuring out 4 cups. I little freshly grated nutmeg is a nice addition as well.

The day I made this, it was very good. The next day, it was OUTSTANDING! The only change I made was substituting cake flour for all-purpose. I followed another suggestion about pulsing the apples into smaller pieces - great idea! My boyfriend loved it so much it's his new favorite cake.

I made this cake for a German theme party and have been making it ever since. It's wonderful. The only changes I made is I use two apples instead of four to give it more of a "cakey" taste. I also double the recipe for the frosting since.

I made this and the flavor was great but it was really really moist to the point of falling apart. I think I will leave the icing off next time as it was plenty rich without and almost too rich with.

This is an excellent cake!! What I did differently is that I grated the apples instead of dicing them and I did without the frosting. This cake doesn't have a 'normal' batter consistency compared to other cakes, so don't think you did something wrong. To me the cake tastes better if you let it cool....overall it's wonderful!

Even thought I cut back on the sugar and oil this was still way too sweet and oily for me. Thanks, anyway for sharing.

A great cake - I made the recipe 3 times so far as it is written and it turned out great. I did have to watch the cooking time and I had to go the full time to get the middle done.

A very good recipe. I added 8 ounces of cream cheese for the frosting and then sprinkled cinnamon over the top to give it a little something special. Also, there is too much sugar in it for me so I cut it by a third and it was wonderful.
