I've made this same recipe for years and there's never a crumb left. The apples just make it so good. I first tasted this at a friend's house at least 25 years ago and I've made it on many occasions since always with good success! A truly terrific cake! -
I made this cake for the first time today and I have to say it was one of the very best apple cakes I have ever tasted. My husband thought it was terrific. It will be one of our favorites from now on.

GREAT! We loved it. Made dietary changes as follows: substituted 50/50 sugar/splenda for the sugar, apple juice for orange juice (that was all I had) and used 1/4 cup oil and 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce in place of the oil.

This was an excellent cake! Very moist! I used 1/2 melted butter and 1/2 vegetable oil; reduced the sugar by 4 tbsp. (I live in a high altitude area); I used 3 Fuji apples and got a little over 2 cups of fruit. I did not have orange juice on hand so I used nonsweetened apple cider and it came out fine. Once the cake was cooled, I drizzled with a caramel glaze (1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/8 cup half & half) and it added a nice little topping to this beautiful cake. Will make this again and try using all butter in the cake batter. To keep the cake from sticking to the pan I used Kittencal's recipe #78579 - I swear by it!! Works like a charm every single time!! Thanks for posting, this was super delish and super easy!! Update: I made three more of these cakes using 1 cup of melted butter and they came out perfectly! Much better than the oil. Will be using butter from now on (and I will be making this cake many more times!!) -
This was everything i was hoping for! i had all these apples sitting around and wanted something sweet for a party- let me tell ya, i picked the right recipe! Everyone loved it! If i could bottle the smell of it baking i would be a wealthy woman! Thanks alot, i will make this over and over i'm sure! Instead of powdered sugar i used a glaze (1stick butter, 1/4c milk, 1c b. sugar melted over the stove and drizzled on) try it you will not regret it! i also substituted apple cider for OJ like another review...

Wonderful! My family and I love this cake. Since I have diabetes, I substituted Splenda for the sugar. I also used fresh apple cider instead of the orange juice. It worked out beautifully. Moist and delicious. And an attractive presentation. I will definitely make this again and again. Thanks for sharing this. -
I've just tried this recipe and it seems far too sweet for me - I added no icing and used rather sour apples. I would also use butter instead of oil. Anyway, quite tasty, thanks! -
This was soooo moist and soo delicious. I didn't have orange juice but I did have tangerines, so I substituted that instead. The whole house smelled heavenly as I baked this cake. I didn't change anything except that instead of drizzling icing sugar on top, I mixed icing sugar with just a bit of water (a few tbsp) and mixed it to a thick paste and drizzled it on top. Everyone loved it and I shared a quarter cake each to two of my neighbours. Thanks for the recipe! I'll make it again, I'm sure.

I also really like sewing. I make @ 1/3 of my daughters clothes. Reading is also a BIG staple in my life. One of my favorite ways to find a book is to walk into the library, pick a shelf and simply grab a book at random. I've read so many great books I probably wouldn't have found out any other way.
I also like to camp and fish with my DH. He eats, sleeps and breathes fishing. He would like to one day start his own company, he hand ties and sells fishing lures locally. And he loves my cooking and will try anything at least once. ;)
He works as a pressman at a local printing company.
