I just finished making this cake for Thanksgiving. Here's what I changed.
make 1/2 the amount of caramel - and still reserve 3/4 cup to drizzle. bake in a non stick springform pan with a tray underneath. use a variety of apples - golden delicious/20oz/honey crisp. peel the 3 that are fanned out but not the center apple. chop the remaining apples but make it a smaller dice and possibly just add it to the cake batter. toss the chopped apples with pumpkin pie spice. apple juice instead of orange.
I used a combination of gluten free flours. bake the cake for longer than the recipe states - probably around 1 hour 40 minutes. cool about 1 hour - run the knife around the pan. it came right out w/out the hot water.

Looks like it may have come out tasting ok, but I had a very hard time finding a 3" deep cake pan! I used a spring pan, and it leaked all over the oven. The caramel was easy to prepare, the first time I ever made some. The cake however was still wet when I took it out of the oven, despite adding 25 extra minutes to the 1 hour 20 which was reccommended. Next time I will use a larger not so deep pan, cut the apples smaller, and bake it accordingly.

I followed the directions exactly, but the caramel had a hint of like maybe it was burnt? Kind of disappointed.

I made this recipe for a Halloween potluck at work, and everyone loved the caramel, apples and cake. This was the first time I made caramel from scratch and loved how this came out. The cake was dense, richly flavored and added to the presentation when cut for serving.

I agree with the comment about the value of having all the incredients measured out and ready. If you are careful, you can have the different parts ready to go when the caramel is ready.

If you like a great holiday cake, you will enjoy making and eating this one!

I concur with everyone! Was a hit at the Halloween party last night! Carmel was easy and delicious; although, I didn't quite use the left over caramel to pour on top. I will DEFINITELY be making this recipe again! Perhaps even for Thanksgiving! :

I made this cake last night and it was delicious! Because of the intense amount of sugar in the caramel, I used splenda in the cake and it came out great. It was my first time ever making caramel and it was so easy and tasted amazing. The cake is very rich and sweet, so it'll probably end up being a once a year kind of cake.....but if you eat it with vanilla ice cream it cuts down on the intense caramel. So so good!

Big hit at a halloween party. Took the cheater's shortcut route because I was pressed for time. I used store-bought caramel- liquified in microwave. This set very quickly which expediated the process. Baking time ~ 65 min. I used a nonstick springform pan which made removal easy. I only waited for it to cool enough for me to touch it before I removed the pan. Simply slid the bottom of the pan off. This took most of the caramel with it- however I simply scraped it back into my original cup and remelted it (along with extra caramel and poured on top. Cake looked great and tasted delicious!

This cake is FANTASTIC and the recipe was right on. I did not have the size cake pan it called for so I used a square 9" stone. I also did not have to boil that water at the end to get the cake out. I let it cool for about 20 minutes and ran the knife around the cake twice. Then I just inverted it onto a sheet pan. It is great. Will certainly make it again:

OMG!!! This is insanely delicious!!! It took alot longer to make the carmel but I had the heat set lower to prevent burning. I peeled my apples and just cut them however I felt that day. LOL I also did not use the pan listed because I didn't have the specified size so I just used a regular 9x13 inch cake pan and it worked perfectly. Put a catch pan underneath, but there was no boil over. My husband, father and coworkers loved it!! I will ABSOLUTELY make this again!! Great cake for the fall season!!!
