My husband and I came to Canada over 40 years ago from Holland. This traditional Dutch recipe is a family favorite and frequently goes along with me to potluck suppers and other get-togethers. —Elizabeth Peters, Martintown, Ontario

It looks great but I am also concerned by the lack of any raising agent. Well, if I try it, I won´t be so brave not to add some. I will add baking powder.

I made the rookie error of taking this to a pot luck before I'd tried the recipe at home. I was so humiliated! Bland and dense describe it best. I agree with the reviewer who thought it would be best used as a door stop! There are tons of recipes out there -- try something else!

This bread was good, but the flavor wasn't my favorite and it was a little too bland for my tastes. I probably wouldn't make it again, as I have better recipies, but if you want a simple, not over-the-top-with-flavor bread, this one will be good for you!

This was a very dense loaf..It would make a good door stopper. I would not make again. I can't believe it's a contest winner.

Although it has plenty of butter and isn't necessarily light, the Dutch Apple Cake is very easy to make. My cake turned out very moist and it smells wonderful. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure that I'll get a report on how delicious it is. I'm having lunch with a friend who's birthday is in a few days. As it happens, she's originally from Holland, the cake is her gift, and she can't wait to try the cake.

I have made this recipe many times since I first found it through Taste of Home. It is so delicious that I hate sharing it!
