I rely on applesauce to keep this crowd-pleasing cake tender and moist. The blend of nuts, cranberries and apples complements the subtle hint of wheat flour for terrific taste.—Martha Pollock, Oregonia, Ohio

This is a wonderfully moist and tasty snack cake. The cranberries really bring it to life. A++

Great recipe. I had frozen cranberries, so I just tossed them in the food processor and coarsely chopped instead of cutting them in half. A real time save and it tasted great. Sprinkling with powdered sugar just before serving is a must. If it sits too long the powdered sugar dissolves so it can't be seen.

Re: Cran-Apple Walnut CakeGreat recipe. I was short on brown sugar, so I substituted with the Splenda Brown sugar and it was great. Question: I see that beverlymrickert used dried cranberries. Did she soak them in water first or were they added right from the package?nancygerhardt

My husband and I don't like overly sweet desserts, so this cake seemed perfect, I got rave reviews from my husband, sister, and neighbors, everyone love it. A very moist, tasty cake. I used from from the bog cranberries that were truly a delight. My 4 year old nephew helped make the cake as he loves to help bake, and he even liked the tart berries. So it is at least 4 stars in my book.

I tried this recipe but had to use the dried cranberries as the grocery store informed me that they don't get cranberries until a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving. However, it still came out good and was very good.

I baked this cake and used crasins instead of fresh cranberries. I cooked them with a little water, just to get them moist. My husband, daughter and granddaughter devowed this cake in one day. It get four stars from me. Since I have TMJ (jaw disorder) I left out the walnuts. Dot Hagen
