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

I made this a few days ago for my son's rehearsal dinner and everyone loved it! Great recipe, and very easy to put together.

Really good cake. Rather than insert the slices, think I will try to chop up the apples and fold in.

This was wonderfully simple. I live 1 mile high and it needed no adjustments. Shared with 3 friends, all liked the moistness and taste. Will make again!

I made this on a whim. It was very good,almost like a pound cake with apples. Warmed up a slice in the micro next day for breakfast with my coffee, very tasty! Will make again. Suceq

I was concerned about the lack of baking powder, so added 1/2 tsp to the recipe. Pushing the apples into the batter didn't work as well for me as hoped, so will put 1/2 batter into pan and then add apples and other 1/2 of batter. Powdered sugar on top might be good.

I have tasted many apple cakes but this is by far the best one.

I made the Dutch Apple Cake, but at first we didn't try it warm and my husband said that it was too dry! I tried a slice in the microwave for about 15 seconds and I then put some margarine on it and I really liked it! It does need to be warmed before eating. Keep the recipes coming. Thanks, Linda
