WOW!!!! This cake is delicious! I used the golden Delicious apples. The cake was very moist! Another keeper! Thank you Inez ; )

Good cake. I used granny smith apples. The caramel flavor icing compliments the mild apple spice flavor of this cake nicely. I used a 9x13 pan since I didn't have a bundt pan. I baked the cake for an hour and ten minutes and it was slightly over baked. I think that the ideal baking time for this cake in a 9x13 pan would be an hour.
