Good flavor. Didn't come out looking so wonderful.
11/22/2011 09:11:27 PM Report AbuseI just made this and my family too thought it lacked something. We did love the carmelization of the apples though, so we thought this recipe might be worth some changes. I might try brown sugar instead of granulated in the cake, and some lemon peel. I'm also not sure about the type of apples, I used granny smith, but I thought this cake could use a sweeter apple. (I peeled all the apples too.)
10/25/2011 06:27:41 PM Report AbuseNot crazy about this recipe. My family only ate it once and I threw the rest out which is something I am loathe to do. It's heavy. It just lacks something, though I don't know what it is. Will not make again.

9/17/2011 04:56:01 PM Report AbuseWas easy to make but cake was heavy and almost gummy in texture. tasted OK but probably won't make again. Too many other apple recipes out there that are better.
