Very easy to make. I made it for the second time. Like other readers, I had ended up with apples left over. Today, I decided to add ALL the apples to the cake (I used 3 large ones). I layered and layered. I ended up with 4 layers of apples on top of the batter! The batter rose up through the apples. Toward the end of baking, I sprinkled a nice layer of sugar on top (the cinnamon was already on the apples layer by layer) and let it caramelize. Gave it a nice color and crispiness. It was super moist and delicious. And beautiful.Reply

This was a super easy delightful cake! I made it for our friends' annual come and go dinner/hand out candy to trick or treaters/ Halloween party this past Saturday. We are there the whole time so I usually help with the cooking! I served this room temp and there was not a crumb left at the end! Thanks for posting!Reply

This cake has a great consistency for a morning breakfast cake as well as dessert. I made it for breakfast actually :) I topped it with a big dollop of whip cream and was in heaven eating each bite. This is a must make if you haven't already tried it. I will cherish this recipe and make it many times, you can rest assured! Next time I might add in some chopped walnuts, as they are always a treat for me when I bake anything and great with apples. Thank you for sharing this winner with us French Tart!Reply
