This cake is great the way it is, although a little bland so what I did was substitute 1/2 of run for 1/2 cup of water and it really made a difference. I made this cake at Christmas and it was a big success. Please try this substitution and see what you think, although any liquor could be substituted.

It was very easy and moist, but I agree with other reviewers that it lacked something. I feel at the very least it could have used double the amount of apples, and some cinnamon or other spices.

It was very moist and easy but not enough apples or flavor.
