I cut the recipe in half (because I didn't have a 3 inch round pan. Maybe that had something to do with the results. The flavor was OK. It was super sweet. But the carmel topping was delicious. I just think it was alot of work for the result.

Disappointed. In a nutshell, the caramel when cooked as specified will be more a a "burnt' caramel, with a deep burnt caramel taste. (No, I didn't burn the caramel, folks, just cooked as directed. Aside from that, though, my entire family thought the cake itself really didn't have much flavor- I guess it all depends on the caramel, which truly wasn't that good.

I might consider making this again, but not cooking to the dark amber stage, but a nice golden yellow or peanut butter stage before adding cream and butter. I would think that you might want to increase cinnamon and maybe the chopped apples in the batter to give the cake itself some flavor.

When I got my FN Mag the other day, I saw this cake and had to make it! It was so easy and it was fun making caramel from scratch. I didn't have a regular cake pan so I used a spring loaded one and just put another pan underneath to catch the caramel that dripped out. After flipping the cake, I just scraped out the caramel and poured it on the cake.

Just a note, the recipe makes a LOT of caramel so if you cut it in half you should be fine. I had a lot left over so I dipped some apples in them!

This was an excellent recipe and the cake was to die for. The only thing I would go a little easy on the next time is the caramel. It is very sweet and blends well with the cake but just a little too sweet for me. Other than that I think this has become a household favorite for my family.

My first complaint that it is hard to find a tall 9in cake pan that isn't a spring form pan. I attempeted to use the spring form pan and now I have burnt caramel all over the bottom of my oven and on a baking sheet.

Gold delicious apples turned out sour when baked. Other than that, the cake itself was good and I had so much extra caramel that I will be using it for the rest of fall for all of my baking!

This cake was so delicious. The perfect fall treat! I would have done nothing different except make a little less caramel. Either than that it was great!

This cake was so delicious - the cake itself wasn't too sweet, which balanced well with the sweet caramel. Only thing I would change is I'd make less caramel - I only used about a 1/4 cup of the 1 1/2 cups I set aside to drizzle on top of the cake and that was plenty sweet enough

My mom's bartlett pear tree went into overdrive this year and I made this cake last night using the pears which also turned out well. My only issue with this recipe is that the cake it self was a tiny bit too sweet (especially when paired with the caramel.
