this recipes was amazing and was finished in one day. i was a little hesistant at first when i was making it because i felt as if there was too much apple and too lil dough but in the end it worked out perfectly. soft apples. would of been even better w. a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce but that gets too sweet.

Delicious cake! I took this to an event and it was a hit. I used Cream Cheese Frosting II on this cake, but it would be good without frosting too.

After reviewing the alterations of this recipe, I changed the following: 1/3 cup oil, 1/4 cup applesauce, 1 cup white sugar, 3/4 cup brown sugar. I thought the sweetness was perfect for my taste. The cake was definitely moist, and light even. It's delicious right out of the oven, but sets up when cooled. Will definitely make again!

This is the best apple cake recipe! The cake was moist and not too sweet. Very tasty and easy to prepare. I followed this recipe exactly the way the author suggested and I was totally satisfied. I also think that using red apples adds to the moistness of the cake. I have tried it with Granny Smith Apples and it was pretty dry and lacked sweetness. Excellent RECIPE!

Awesome apple cake! I omitted the nuts due to personal taste. I used four McIntosh apples with a fairly fine chop to obtain the desired four cups. In addition to the cinnamon, I added sprinkles of nutmeg, cloves, and pumpkin pie spice. The resultant cake was a beautful dark brown with a crackled appearance. The cake is beautifully moist and rich, with a spicy apple-y flavor. Great with Caramel Frosting VI from this site.

Excellent! Not exactly a cake, but tastes good no matter what you call it. To make it a bit healthier, I used 1/4 cup of veg oil and a 1/4 cup of applesauce as a substitute. Also cut the sugar by using 1 1/2 cup with the 1/2 cup coming from Splenda's brown sugar blend.

I used the french buttercreme frosting recipe I found on this site with this cake. It was amazing.

We really loved this. We used probably too many apples. Also the pan we used was 8.5 x 11 pyrex. We wrapped wet dishtowels around the perimeter of the baking dish while it baked, to avoid uneven baking (so the edges won't overcook). Next time I will use exact amount of apples. Granny Smiths, tasted delicious. Oh,, I also added about a teaspoon of allspice.

The cake turned out absolutely delicious! It was just as good straight from the oven as it was the following day after the spices had combined. To lighten up the cake, I used cinnamon sweetened apple sauce instead of oil. I also added a 1/3 cup of chopped dates. The cake was very moist and the cinnamon flavor really accentuated the taste.
