Drizzled with warm caramel sauce, this classic and comforting, old-fashioned dessert is an heirloom recipe. “It was passed down from my Great-Aunt Syd,” writes Anne Livingston from Evanston, Illinois. “It’s so good in wintertime and no one ever guesses it’s as light as it is!” TASTY TIP Chopped pecans make an easy but elegant substitute in this recipe.

I had a whole bunch of apples I needed to use before they went bad. This was the perfect recipe and a hit for the company we had over.

Absolutely amazing! Made as written with pecans in place of the walnuts. Either part would be wonderful by itself, but together it blows your mind! Caramel sauce is husbands new favorite for anything using caramel. Whole thing is the whole family's favorite!

Yum!! I made this recipe exactly as written (substituting pecans for walnuts). Very moist and delicious! A great comfort dessert for a brisk autumn evening! Plus the house smelled wonderful while it baked!

I added 1 tablespoon canola oil and 2 tablespoons of applesauce. I omitted the walnuts due to family's allergies. I used about 3 cups of shredded McIntosh apples. It took longer than 30 minutes to bake but the cake turned out very moist. Poured carmel sauce over cake about 5 minutes after removing it from oven. Everyone loved it. I plan to use the carmel sauce for other cakes.
