I baked 2 smaller bundts at about 45 mins each. I too backed off on the honey to 1/2 cup, glad I did, it's rather sweet. It's not as moist as I would've anticipated with the honey. All that maybe because it was baked smaller, I will try another time in a large bundt and see. I am going to make some caramel sauce this evening and drizzled it over a warmed up slice of cake for dessert. On further thinking about this cake...I think a warm caramel glaze poured over it while the cake is still warm (therefore they cool together) would be what I do the next time I make it.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! i made some alterations in an attempt to make it healthier. I used 1/2 cup splenda and 1/2 cup of splenda brown sugar. i also only used 1/2 cup of honey. i used half applesauce and half olive oil. i also used whole wheat flour and i didnt have allspice so i added nutmeg instead. I also chopped the apples up instead of shreaded them. I will DEFINATLY make this again!

I used granny smith apples and followed the recipe exactly but I didn't put any nuts in. It was AMAZING to say the least. I took it to a family Rosh Hashanah dinner and they kept sneaking back to eat more of it. Did I say it was AMAZING? Try it!!! It's really good and easy to make as well. Thanks you Jayda!!!

Wonderful!! I used Cameo apples that weren't as crisp as we like for eating fresh. I used only 1/2 cup oil + 1/2 cup applesauce instead of 1 cup of oil. Cake was moist and delicious! The whole family loved it. Thanks!!

I forgot the vanilla, but it still came out ok. Might try it again to see if the vanilla makes that much of a difference.

This is a great recipe. I didn't have allspice so I substituted 1/2 tbsp nutmeg..it was delicious. I used 2 red delicious apples and one granny smith. I used my hand grater and used the largest part of the shredder. I noticed that the granny smith stays white and produces more juice, while the red turned browm, even after sprinkling w a little lemon juice..really makes no difference, looks the same when done. I also made this a second time with 1/2 c chopped walnuts. the cake came out bigger..I am not that fond of nuts, but the people that were loved it. I think it is moister without the nuts!

Absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly, using Granny Smith apples and this cake is fabulous. It comes out really moist and flavorful. Baking time for me was 60 minutes. I baked it in a fleur de lis bundt pan (wedding present), which created nice detail on the sides, then sifted powdered sugar over the top. I was considering caramel sauce, but this cake really doesn't need any extras-- it's delicious as is. I'll be making this more often, definitely. Thanks for the recipe!

Absolutely fantastic! I made a glaze out of confectioner's sugar, milk, butter, vanilla, and scotch... Tasty! :)
