Delish
It was an interesting concept to have a plain cake with layered apple + sugar. However, putting the apples on top made them not cook correctly. Also, the sugar/cinnamon mixture was purely sugar and thus stuck to the sides of the pan and came out over crunchy by the time the cake had cooked. It was strange to have the difference in textures from the sugar mixture in the middle and that on top. My cake turned out crumbly and stuck to the pan even though I buttered it, but even so it’s overall not a cake I’ll probably try out again.
It didn’t make much, so next time I will double the recipe or make 2 pans. But otherwise so good, a little too mushy in the middle, but I’ll leave it to cook a tad longer next time.
Great taste, but not “cake” at all. Maybe I did something wrong.
The cake seemed a bit rough. It tasted okay. I would like to try it again, to see if perhaps I made a mistake.
Excellent recipe. No changes made or needed.
Very easy to make , it came out moist and delicious! I will be making this Diary free Apple Coffee cake again for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Made this for study club. Easy recipe. Didn’t change anything! And I’m glad I didn’t, was very moist. Many groans of approval!
I used thawed previously frozen apples- otherwise followed the recipe exact. Served it warmed up the next day- consistency similar to bread pudding. With vanilla ice cream- amazing. My guests loved it.
loved the recipe — was great and moist cake made the dry topping ok – would want the topping to be a little less hard and thick crust, I will reduce the amount next time –
It was a hit with my family and friends.
This cake is awesome and easy to make Rave reviews from my husband and women’s group
Super tasty, and moist! I made it with half of gluten free all-purpose flour from Trader Joe’s, the other half brown rice flour, for my husband needs a gluten free diet. Unfortunately, I needed something else to help it hold together, because it fell apart too easily. My fault, not the recipe. I will have to further modify it for gluten free.
It came out great. Maybe I’ll try it again make it better. I like to try it on the family to see what they think.
No, not a thing, exactly as the recipe and it was served at a reunion of friends. I receive only compliments of terrific good cake. Will make it again soon.
Will definitely make again!
OMG OMG OMG – the BEST, moistest, most delicious, spongey, sweet, appley…. HUGS AND SMOOCHES TO THE RECIPE PROVIDER!! The loaf was a hit with everyone!
This was delicious! I used gala apples and ended up running out of sour cream so I used the plain yogurt with a splash of vanilla. Got so many compliments on this. This is one for the books!
My family loved it, this will be keeper.
Excellent
