Recipe calls for a very dark caramel, I found that cooking the caramel to a golden colour works best so it doesn't burn in the oven. Also, DO NOT use a spring form pan, my friend and I made that mistake and caramel coated the bottom of our oven. Granted, these were just innocent mistakes, the recipe is still delicious, fun and easy. The cake itself is on point! Definitely making again as practice makes perfect!

I aced that cake! I don't know why a lot of people had complaints - if you follow the recipe, it should work fine. The only thing I did differently is that I made it in a rectangular Pyrex, and I peeled the apples. Everyone that had it loved it.

this was a hit at our Family Thanksgiving Dinner. I had to leave early to visit my husbands family and recieved many texts from family and guests about this cake. i had a piece for the first time about 3 or 4 days later and it was still moist and delicious even without the extra caramel.

This cake looks good but, needs a lot of work. First off, buy a specialty pan, normally a 9 x 3 pan is a spring form, but the caramel will leak out of a spring form causing a horrible mess in the oven. Cooled caramel is stiff and hard to cut, I would recommend looking for another caramel recipe. Cake has a dense dry heavy crumb and would benefit from some applesauce added to the batter. a great cake on paper but a total disaster for Thanksgiving. Not used to finding "bomb" recipes like this on this site, but I generally search for Emeril's recipes. He never lets me down.

I tried this cake last Saturday as a test as I was looking for something different to try for Thanksgiving dessert. It was awesome! I used a bundt cake pan and put the apple top on as a garnish when I served it to friends and they loved it. I did allow it to bake longer also added cardamon to the batter for a little more flavor. The cake was moist and flavorful and what's not to love about caramel? This is definitely a keeper.

The sliced apples were the best part of the cake... Too bad that's the only tasty part of the cake. The cake was dense, dry, bland and somewhat crumbly - not at all what I was expecting. The caramel sauce was good but a little too runny. Make sure to use a wooden spoon or something other than a plastic spatula when stirring the sauce. (I melted my spatula. After I flipped the cake over, I poked holes all over the top and poured the remaining sauce over it. The cake didn't absorb any of the sauce. Big disappointment!

I made a few changes after reading other reviews. I used a 10 x 8 glass Pyrex pan. I sliced the apples and I added 1/2 tsp of apple pie seasoning. One word YUMMY! The caramel is to die for, it looked like it was going to get hard so I added a 1/2 tsp of butter. I could have just had the Carmel for dessert. In fact, I kept dipping my sliced apples, I almost didn't have enough for the cake. The cake is a little labor intense, but well worth it. Just make sure you have all your ingredients ready to go. I will make this cake again and again and again! Very good! M

After spending all the time peeling and slicing apples (I'm sure glad I have an apple tree so I didn't have to spend $$ on that toowe were so darn dissapointed in this recipe! The caramel was very good, but the cake is so dry we didn't eat it. A Box mix would have been better and I haven't used one of those things in 20 years! Pick another recipe!

Yes, this cake was labor intense, but the outcome was gorgeous to look at and delicious to eat!!. The caramel was easy enough to cook. And yes, you have to be careful when adding the heavy cream and butter as it will splatter. I used a 9x3 spring pan and this made it easier to remove the cake. I also peeled the apple slices (after reading the other reviews. I baked this cake for a little over two hours just to make sure it was baked through. I made this for Thanksgiving dessert and it was liked by all!! I would definitely make it again.
