Perfect Apple Cake! SUPER moist and just the perfect amount of spice. I diced my apples into smaller than dice size pieces, only because I made them in different pans and was worried they wouldn't soften enough. (I divided the recipe into 3 foil loaf pans and only baked for about 55 minutes.) Thanks for sharing this recipe! -
This recipe is great and much loved in my family. Though I personally like to reduce or even half the sugar, it was extremely sweet the first time I made it! But that also might be because I'm from Europe as I've heard that American cakes are more sweet in general. All in all I certainly do recommend this recipe if you have some spare apples laying around and are feeling like cake :) -
There are many, many apple cake recipes on this site (and others) but we still prefer this one. Because of personal taste we cut back on sugar and substitute 1/2 oil and 1/2 melted unsalted butter. But again, that is because we like it that way. Otherwise no changes are necessary in this recipe and highly recommend it. Also easy enough for a beginner cook because it is almost failproof.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
