This disappeared quickly at my gathering. People kept returning for another piece, even scraping up the crumbs when the pieces were gone.

Excellent cake. I made it three times this month with different apples we picked on apple picking excursions. I added some cloves to the mix as well as the cinnamon and nutmeg. We did not frost it. It is excellent as it is. Yes the batter is very very thick. The top of cake is yummy because it is crunchy. I like it best with the granny smith apples.

It turned out quite well! I had a cake I used to make in this recipe book I just couldn't find, and I was looking for something similar. I made a few changes- I grated the apples instead of chopping them, and omitted some sugar. I only had self-rising cake flour on hand, so I used that, and omitted the salt, and raising agents. It turned out great! Light and fluffy, and I was delighted I could use oil instead of butter.

This cake was great when made according to the recipe. But, combining too many of the suggested substitutes makes disappointing results. When we tried applesauce instead of oil, whole wheat instead of white, cut some of the sugar and used blueberries & apples instead of just apples, we ended up with a tasty but over-moist cake with no pizzazz. Everyone in the family is begging me to make the original recipe again.

This was pretty good but I still like my standard recipe which uses 6 cups of apples. The only thing different was I eliminated the cream cheese frosting and used whip topping.

Easy and delicious! I used lots more apples chopped any old way along with walnuts and raisins. Glazed it with powdered sugar frosting. Nice!

Great tasting cake and smells wonderful as it is baking! I made exactly as the directions stated, with the exception of using Red Delicious Apples. Next time I will leave the 1 Tablespoon of milk out of the icing so it will be fluffier and thicker, but it did taste wonderful. It does remind me of an "old fashioned" apple cake. I am going to make it next week for our annual Fall Festival.

A great tasting cake. I did drizzle about 1 tsp of vanilla flavoring and 1 extra tsp of cinnamon to top of cake when it was cooling. Thanks for the recipe!!

This is a great easy recipe. I didn't use the oil that the recipe called for, I used about 1/4C butter and half a cup of apple sauce as a substitute. I also didn't make the icing, though I am sure it would be delightful with the extra calories, I decided it was just great without it. I will be making this again soon, as my apple tree is hanging heavy with fruit.

So delicious! I was going to add the frosting - but I really don't think it needs it. I used really tart granny smith apples and it was perfect! I will definitely make this one again! Thanks

Every single person that had this cake asked for the recipe. This cake is crunchy on top and moist in the middle. One of my friends said it was "the strangest, best cake" she had ever eaten. :-) I would highly recommend it!!! But, do be aware that you will need to spray a spoon with Pam to spread out the cake as it will be very, very thick when you pour it in the pan. It is much like a cookie dough, instead of a typical cake batter. After I poured mine in the pan, I dripped vanilla flavoring all over the top of it (maybe 3 tsp total) and everyone commented on the vanilla flavor to it. So, I guess that is something else you can add! :-) This cake came out perfect the very first time I made it!

I was looking for an easy recipe cake recipe for apples...and this is it! I edited the recipe as suggested by other reviewers...1Tcinn, 2tsp nutmeg, & 1tsp ground ginger. I had almost 6c of chopped apples so I made 1 1/2 times the cake part. I used 1c oil but next time will use 1/2 applesauce and 1/2 oil to make it a little more healthy. The baking time was about 1:10. I dusted the top with powdered sugar thinking the icing would make it too sweet. I will definately make this again in the near future.

This is one of the most delicious, moist cakes you will ever have. I followed suit of other reviewers and made the cake with healthier ingredients. I used non-sweetened applesauce instead of oil, 1% milk, and I only made half the frosting, using Neufchatel cream cheese. Even using the "lite" ingredients and less frosting, it was still creamy and decadent. It was so delectable everyone went back for a second piece, thus defeating the purpose of making it lite!

Delicious! I wonder if you could mess this recipe up. I used some apples off my tree, tart and delicious. I didn't have any powdered sugar so I used normal sugar for the frosting and it was still great. I just sort of ballparked the sugar conversion. I also just chopped the apples big and then noticed it said to dice them small. Oh well. It turned out so yummy and my family loved it. Now I'm just waiting to do some time on the treadmill before I make it again. Thanks for sharing!

Yummy! Made this for tea, and ended up with two beautifully browned loaves. I skipped the frosting, too. The cake was plenty sweet enough, and the crunchy top was a real crowd pleaser! I added a teaspoon of vanilla to the batter, but other than that I followed the recipe as written - and I'll definitely be making it again!

This was a great cake. I changed two things, I didn't use the cream cheese frosting, my famliy and I are not big on frosting and I used unsweetened applesauce in place of the oil. Using applesauce in most cake type recipes works well, it makes the cake moist and cuts the fat too and doesn't effect the taste, doesn't taste like you added applesauce. I will make this again.

a pretty good fresh apple cake. i upped all of the spices and added a few more, to make it more of a spice cake rich with apples. i also left off the cream cheese frosting; to me that would have been overkill. a simple dusting of confectioners sugar is all that it needs.
