Very good! I followed almost the complete recipe. But for the apples I used 3 small be sure not to cut to thin for they add nice moisture to the cake. Loved the honey and then found 1 tablespoon of cinnamon sugar to be plenty. But then again I don`t have a 9x13 springform pan so the apples would have to be spread out more so add 1 more and the sugar would distributed more maybe to 2 tablespoons.
