This is a wonderful creation!! The flavor and texture were fantastic. Like others, it was done done in about 1 hour and 10 minutes. The only change I made was to use 2 cups all purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour and I was very pleased with the result. Next time rather than using honey, I think I will try maple syrup in the glaze. I will certainly be making this again!

Dear Paula,
I just finished baking your cake it looks and smells wonderful. I peeled the apples for the
cake. I also cut up another apple and simmered it in 1/2 cup sugar , 2 T honey, 1/2 cup water and, 2 T of Coffeemate and reduced it in half. I then strained and cooled my apple syrup mixture and added the milk. I then added the confectioner sugar. The flavor of glaze was very applely. I then chilled it in the fridge. I will poke holes in my cake to keep the it even more moist. I also reduced the sugar in the cake to 1 1/2 cups. Thanks Paula for this wonderful recipe. My family has been asking, "Is it done yet." they can't wait.

I'm eating this cake right now... sooo satisfied. I've never been successful when working with apples but this WORKS. The peel in the cake is hardly there and the little bits of apple pops wonderfully on the pallett. I actually ran out of sugar while measuring it out so i used about 3/4 cup brown sugar to cream in with the eggs and oil. Worked just fine- added great color to the cake. I unwillingly omitted the walnuts because my roomies don't care for nuts but the crust that occurs on the outside of the cake gives great texture. I did not have milk either so I used 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice and 2 tbsp triple sec. The citrus gave great contrast the sweetness of the cake. Some people posted they found the cake to be dry which I disagree with. I mean... this cake has 3 eggs and 1 1/4 cup of veg oil in it. HELLO!!! moist! Not to mention the way my house smells. I'm sooo making this again during the holidays.

I made the cake for my husband's party and it was a hit! of course i used a glass baking dish 11.75"x9", lowered the temp to 158 degree C and cooked after an hr. but i left it for another 15 mins and it burnt a little on the top. hence an hr was enough in the oven. nevertheless, it turned out well. I added raisins too to the recipe. guests wanted a second serving!

Assisted my mother in making this just last night...we could barely wait for it to cool down before digging in. This cake is fabulous - despite having 2 cups of sugar in it, it doesn't taste overly sweet...it's delightfully moist and spicy from the cinnamon. We used Spartan apples [which are a sweeter apple] since we don't care for Granny Smiths and omitted the glaze, since we don't care for glazes on cakes, either. A simple sprinkling of confectioners sugar is all you need on this...or perhaps a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen custard... Baked it the full 1 hour, 30 minutes on convection and it turned out beautifully. Good enough that we're going to make it all fall and winter long.

Since I didn't have all the ingredients, I made a lot of substitutions. I used a silicone bundt form; I didn't have walnuts,so I used pecans; also used 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup wheat pastry flour. When it came out of the oven after only 75 minutes (suggested by a few posts, it was pretty moist, so I decided to firm it up a bit and cooked it for 15 more minutes.

Very tasty, I'll keep the glaze on the side, since it's pretty sweet as it is. The next time around, I'll replace the vegetable oil with apple sauce.
