Three words: Delicious, Easy, and Quick. This was so simple to make, looked amazing, and tasted even better. I had never made the caramel (boiling sugar and water before and don't have the candy thermometer, but I followed the directions and removed the boiling sugar water when it turned amber like the recipe instructed. Someone else posted that this is an elegant dessert - absolutely it is. A small scoop of a good vanilla ice cream would be perfect with it. Next time, I toss in a few cranberries or other berry with the apples (or even use pears maybe for color. This is a keeper for sure.

Yum!
Rich, and quite sweet. I can see how some would say it's too sweet. I didn't have lemon zest, so I made it without, and I didn't have granny smith apples so I used fuji apples, but it's still very good. I too, like joyfulone54 was worried I had messed it up because the carmel immediately turned hard when I poured it on the apples. A little soggy, to be honest, but it's very good. Very sweet, but good.

This is one of my favorite "go to" desserts and always a huge hit! The first time I made it I was sure I had messed up... the carmel was hard when I put the cake batter on it. I went ahead and baked it anyway and it came out perfect! So pretty too! Thanks Ina!

I was so excited to make this cake. However, as I started preparing it, I found the cake itself to be way too sweet. I actually used about 3/4 cup sour cream, 3 eggs, and more lemon zest to try to cut some of the sweetness. I also added some apple pie spice ontop of the apples, before adding the cake batter on top. I really liked the texture of my cake. It was moist and flavorful. However, it just had a bit too much sugar for my liking. I will make this again, but I will definitely omit the caramel, because, again it was pure sugar and water. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get my caramel to brown. I also omitted the powdered sugar ontop. However, the concept of the cake was really a good one, and I'm sure that with a few tweaks, I will make it taste perfect to my pallet. Ina definitely gave me a good starting point, though!

I love love love watching Ina..in fact, she's my favorite food network star to watch, but this desert was a disaster. i just cooked it for thanksgiving and it was not a crowd favorite. The cake was really REALLY unpleasantly dense and lacked flavor. It was fun to make, but not fun to eat. My brother joked and said an ant wouldn't want to pick it up to eat (jokingly of course. This recipes a skipper!

A simple yet tasty cake from the master Ina Garten. At first I thought this recipe would lack flavor due to missing spices normally associated with apples (cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg. The lemon zest and vanilla combined with the caramel gave this great cake a honey flavor. Easy to make, I highly recommend it warm on a cool fall day.
