I added crasins because my family likes the taste of cranberries and apples. Also added finely chopped walnuts in topping. This is a great base recipe that you can add to.
Brandon Parker
Delicious! I used the full cup of oil and maybe a few extra apples, fresh from the tree. I also used a really good whole wheat flour. Thank you.
Christine Prince
I made this for the second time! It is such an easy and delicious recipe. First time, I followed the recipe as written. The second time, with others suggestions, I added cinnamon sugar with apples then added a little bit of butter on top of apples. Then sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top of cake batter.
Deanna Miller
Yes, I loved this and so did the family. I did go with the applesauce and oil as did previous reviewers. I also sprinkled more than a tsp. Of cinnamon and added a little nutmeg. It was delightful. A definite keeper.
Faith Moyer
LOVE! Great recipe if you’re looking to use up a bunch of apples. I salted and cinnamoned my apples before topping with batter. The cake is so MOIST thanks to the 1 cup of oil so don’t change that if you like moist cake. I’ll definitely keep this recipe and experiment with different fruits.
Jeffrey Medina
I’ve made this recipe many times. I rate the base recipe (5) stars because of how easy it is to make this good dessert. Sometimes, I switch up and add vanilla, cinnamon, lemon and dots of butter to the apples as well as add cinnamon to the cake batter. I use 1/2 cup of applesauce and only 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to keep it from being too oily and the applesauce enhances the apple flavor.
Bryan Harrison
I made this exactly as written. It was delicious although a bit too sweet. I made it ours by adding cinnamon and nutmeg to apples. Halving the sugar and using half brown and white sugar. Also, this batter doesn’t pour as much as it has to be spread over apples! Hot spicy and delicious!
Samantha Fernandez
No changes
Robert Vasquez
It is greasy, not much flavor on the apples since the sugar is in the crust and the cinnamon (not mixed with sugar) is on the crust. I won’t be making this anymore.
Caitlin Griffin
I made this just like the recipe except I used 1/2 cup applesauce and 1/2 cup oil.
Susan Young
This was so easy to make and everyone loves it! I’ve taken it to potlucks and it always gets gobbled up. I used a combination of Macintosh and Granny Smith apples and followed the recipe exactly. Wouldn’t change a thing..
Kristy Hood
My husband and I loved this cake. After browsing other ideas, I mixed 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon together and then mixed in with the apples. And I used 1/2 cup melted butter and 1/2 cup oil. We will definitely make this again.
Richard Bush
I made this today, my husband raved about it. He loved the crispy crust. My picky granddaughter ate it as well. Easy recipe and very good. I put cinnamon & sugar with the apples.
Justin Russo
I made the error of using apples that i had on hand. If I decide to make this dish again in the future, I will definitely make a special trip to the store to ensure i get my fave apples.
Michael Adams
turned out moist and yummy for us. i eye-balled the apples – ended up with 1 1/2 apples diced. subbed oil for apple sauce, no other modifications.
Nathan Valdez
Very disappointing, there will be no next time??
David Keith
It came out so perfect I couldn’t believe it! I used only 3/4 cup oil, added some warm milk and 3 tablespoons of coconut flour. I also sprinkled some brown sugar and cinnamon onto the apples.
Sandra Howard
This recipe is exceptional!!! My family loves it and I make it for every occasion!! Although instead of slicing the apples I recommend dicing them into 1 inch squares. And the recipe taste great if you dust it of with pumpkin pie spice.
Kelsey Barron
I followed one of the reviewers and used 1/2 cup applesauce and 1/2 cup oil to make this more moist and healthier. We loved it!
Jordan Tate
delicious & easy – what more can you ask for?
Ronald Ferguson
I made this in a round cake pan because I only wanted enough for my hubby and me. I used Gala apples which were very sweet. I only used 1/2 cup sugar and half the flour and oil. Delicious. I cannot imagine using 1 1/2 cups sugar in this dish. Came out beautifully and was very tasty.
