I tried to make this according to the recipe...only subbing 1/2 cup brown sugar Splenda for the regular. I was excited to find a recipe that used whole wheat flour, wheat germ and Splenda! Once I had the batter mixed I thought it was too thick so added some liquids...it didn't work out. ***So I remade it with Galley Wench's suggestions of making a half recipe in an 8x8 pan and mincing the apples. I only baked it for 30 minutes. The second time around it turned out GREAT! It has a soft cake like texture and nice wholesome flavor. I'm glad I tried it again.
