This cake was fantastic. I love how the top is a bit crunchy, very nice. I had so many apples to use up from my tree and this is a recipe I will be using again. Thanks for posting. -
delicious!!!! amazing apple cake. little oily to the touch, i might try substituting 1/2 cup oil for applesauce. otherwise great! -
Just tried this cake today. It is delicious. And easy to prepare except that it is very hard to stir! I used a tube pan and baked for one hour and ten minutes. Turned out perfectly. Next time I will add an extra half cup of nuts and one half teaspoon more salt. Moist. Crunchy on top. Delicious! -
Such an easy cake to make. I used 5 different varieties of apples, left over from making applesauce and left out the nuts as my husband does not like them. It baked up nice with the top a little crunchy and the inside moist and flavorful. I might add a bit of nutmeg the next time for a bit more spice. I could see doing this recipe with mixed fruits--apples, pears, peaches. It would be a great summer dessert. Serve it with some fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to make it decadent. -
This was very yummy. Admittedly, I made many changes. I used 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup homemade applesauce, reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cups, and used raisins instead of walnuts. I also used a GF flour mix (Bob's Red Mill) and xantham gum. I will certainly make this again. It was a great way to use up extra apples

This cake was delicious. I had another couple to dinner and they all loved it, served with vanilla ice cream. I used pecans instead of walnuts but other than that, it is great just like it is!
