This tender, moist cake is full of old-fashioned comfort, and the yummy brown sugar sauce makes it special. For a festive occasion, top with a dollop of whipped cream. —Debi Benson, Bakersfield, California

I made this cake exactly as written. It was excellent. Great for pot lucks if you can keep the delicious sauce warm and top just as you serve it. I tried putting it on top and cutting later, but makes it very soggy if it sits too long. It is the best and yes the I wondered when I made the batter if it would cook up correctly as it didn't seem to have enough liquid. But as others have state, the apples have a lot of moisture and the cake turns out wonderful. This is a keeper and we will have at Thanksgiving time.

This is great. I've made it three times in 2 weeks. It's a huge hit!

I will make it again and again. Everyone in the house loves it. If you run out or don't care for butterscotch, try a little whipping cream. OOOOh. yum.

This was my grandson's 3rd birthday cake. We topped it with fences and zoo animals. It was a big hit both with the three year old and the older ones devouring the cake. Very moist and flavorful.

After reading the reviews about the batter being stiff, I was a little concerned. The catch is that the moisture from the apples cooking puts the added moisture in. It is very moist and full of our favorite fall flavors, apples, cinnamon and nutmeg.

This is a great tasting cake. Will definitely make again. Only change will be to use about half the nutmeg. Thought the original amount a bit over powering.

I used spice grinders for an explosion of fall flavor. What a moist, delicious cake! Like a candied apple but easier to eat. I like the nutmeg myself but did add extra vanilla.
