I have made this cake for years and we love it! My recipe had me add the cinnamon with the dry ingredients, and skip the extra sugar on the apples. I also sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the cake before baking (ca. 1/3 cup sugar with 1 tsp. cinnamon). It calls for a 13x9 pan, whichs bakes faster too. I just tried it last night using 3-4 cups UNpeeled zucchini that I chopped small in my salsa maker (manual food processor). It is absolutely delicious!!!!! You can't even tell that I used zucchinis!

This is an awesome cake. Sometime I substitute rhubarb for the apples. It is also amazing.

Love this, I do add a little more spices to the cinnamon sugar mix and I add twice as many apples!!! I use green granny smith apples!!so delicious! I get requests for this often!

Awesome!!! This has been such a hit at our house. I have made this several times now. We use cool whip instead of any frosting. The cake is very rich. Thanks for posting.
