The only disappointment with this cake is that it is gone so fast! By the time I had served everyone (some coming back for another serving) I was left with one small piece. I got busy doing something else and when I came back it was gone! My little girl had eaten it. She said sorry with a huge smile! There is one thing I might try doing different next time: Pour the topping on the cake while it is still in the pan. Not sure how it will turn out, but I'm anxious to make another one anyway. Thanks!

Fantastic!! So easy to put together and the flavor is....YUM! The glaze is just the right touch, its sweet, but it really compliments the apples and nuts in the cake. I made this for friends visiting from out of state and they both gave this two thumbs up. I can't find my tube pan so I used a 13x9 inch cake pan which worked well and the cake was done in an hour and 10 minutes.

I made this yesterday to take to church while I was working in the office. Everyone loved it even one Pastor who said he really didn't like apple "stuff":. I made a couple of tweaks either out of necssity or personal choice. For instance I used 1cup of reg white sugar, and 1/2 C of brown sugar, instead of all the oil, I used 1 cup of chunky applesauce and 1/2 C Canola oil, it took 2 Granny Smith and 1 med size Gala apple to get 3 cups..I also added a little cinnamon and about 1 tsp of cardomon to the flour mix. I baked it in a 9x13 pan (only took about an hour, cooled it and cut into squares, then put them on a rack and spooned the toppping over each one so they were all covered with a little running down the sides. This is a keepeer in our house, thanks for another winner recipe
