I thought this cake was going to be a winner with the family and it just wasn't. The cake flavor is wonderful, they didn't like the cinnamon candy in the apples. I was very surprised at this, I liked it. But I'm thinking I could make the apples plain, and spice them more like apple pie and then proceed with the rest of the recipe because the cake is really good.

The cake is simple to make. It is very tasty, and the neighborhood children (my taste testers) loved it. It is quite decorative and would add a festive touch to any setting. It does taste lie candy apples, a taste that brings back fond memories of youth. When "taffy aples" were out in the shops the holiday seaseon was near, Christmas was right around the corner.
