Tasted great but after baking just as directed the middle of the cake sunk in which did not make for a nice presentation.

Wow!!! This was definitely, as you say, a WINNER!!! The cake was so easy to make and it comes out super moist. It made the house smell heavenly, and almost didn't make it to the cool down stage... The sauce was also very very tasty - I could see making the sauce by itself to serve over ice cream or other desserts. Thanks for another wonderful recipe!

Excellent!! Was surprised this hasn't been rated before! I had some apples that were aging, and was looking for a recipe w/o vanilla ice cream since I forgot to get it... Once again another great recipe!!
