     Delicious! Made these changes: 1 C almond flour & 1.5 C oatmeal, less raisins (but would use the full cup next time), more nuts, more cinnamon, 0 cal baking sweetener=2/3 cup sugar & applesauce for the oil. Batter was thick, but cake turned out moist. 16 servings @ 162 calories made this way - 12/28/08

     I enjoyed this very much. I made this into cupcakes
    for portion control and froze them. Used Reddy whip
    on the top. made a beautiful and satisfying dessert. - 11/14/08

     This is the best recipe..but I used walnuts and instead of making it as a cake (as I have done at least 5 times) I made several in bread pans and wrapped them as loaves to use for the holidays! Everyone loves them! - 12/2/08

     I found out what I did wrong. You HAVE to use at least some of the sugar to get the moisture from the apples, etc. I also added 1/4 cup applesauce and halved the oil. It is absolutely great!!! - 3/29/08
  • CMJ101
     good! i replaced apple sauce for the oil, and only used a 1/2 cup of sugar. the apples and raisins make it sweet enough for me! - 3/29/08
  • DLBROWNJACKSON
     Wow! This recipe is a keeper. I used Splenda instead of sugar and a bit more spices, cloves, cin. and nutmeg. Very moist, great dessert! - 3/26/08

     Made these substitutions:

    3/4 c honey for sugar
    apple sauce for oil
    orange infused craisins for raisins (Yummy!)

    Also added a 1/4 tsp of salt to fruit to help bring out moisture. - 3/26/08

     Very simple to make and very tasty. The batter is quite thick but it turned out great. Next time I might substitute applesauce for the oil, to save on fat and calories. - 10/28/08

     I did like others and used Splenda, added cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg! Wonderful! - 3/29/08

     The only thing I changed was I had almond slices instead of pecans, and I found I had to lightly sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top - but EXCELLENT!!!! Letting the apples, sugar and raisins sit draws out the moisture in the fruit, making a moister dessert. - 1/30/08
  • ANNABFIT4EVR
     Very good!! I used WW pastry flour, substitued 3/4 cup splenda and 1/4 sugar for the 1 cup sugar, added 4 scoops of vanilla whey protein, and an extra 1/2 tsp baking soda. Loved it! Husband Loved it! Served it for a dinner party and everyone gobbled it down with a bit of lite cool whip. - 12/22/07

     Not too sweet. But SOOO delicious. I put in flax seed and used some soy flour. Put in extra raisins. The apples are SO tasty! Hopefully it'll keep for several days because the calorie count is a little steep and I can only have about 2 per day! - 10/24/07

     People who rate the reciple AFTER changing half the ingredients get on my last nerve. It's not the true recipe and you have no right to rate it. No one wants to substitute your nasty ingredients anyway. - 1/29/13

     i've made this twice. using granny smith apples it's a little bland. i use galas or delicious and it adds just a bit more sweetness. i like the nice big chunks of apples and nuts. it's hearty. - 4/22/09
  • JOPRAY
     This was okay. When I mixed ingredients it appeared to be dry already, so I added milk to the mixture before baking. I thought it was okay as it wasn't too sweet, but my family didn't care for it. Will probably not make it again. - 11/9/08
  • CLAUDIA1333
     This was the first coffee cake I've ever made and it is delicious!!!! I sprinkled some more cinnamon over the top before putting it in the oven. It's moist and just the perfect amount of sweet.Will definitely add this to my list of recipes to keep! - 11/2/08
  • JIMMYS_GIRL
     I must say I was disapponted with the way it came out.
    Maybe I will Heat it up an pour some milk over it to change the texture alttle bit. I also think i needed to chop the apples a little more than I did. I didn't think it was as bad as my rating but it won't let me change it . - 10/31/08

     Made this today, for Herb Society meeting. Everybody LOVED it! I don't like nuts in baked goods, so skipped the pecans and used an all-fruit trail mix instead of the raisins since that's what I had on hand. Also added 1 Tbs fresh chopped rosemary. Needed more, but very good. - 10/23/08
  • DKATZ85
     I made this with white flour and sweet pecans.
    I can't get over people's reactions!!! It's hard work that truly pays off!! EXCELLENT! - 10/21/08
  • WRITERBECK
     Wonderful, moist - even better the next day. Freezes well too. Thank you so sending this in! - 10/19/08
  • NEWZAPATOS
     This is a wonderful fall recipe! It reminded me of a recipe I learned to make when I was young. The taste was great, and I like the moist that the apples created. I did split the sugar, half white and half brown. I plan to make it again for Thanksgiving. Thank you for bringing back old memories! - 10/20/08
  • MLAVO056
     I really don't like how inflated the ratings are because people "want" to try it.... don't do this people! - 9/16/08
  • SUEDY27
     I was a little dissappointed after reading the wonderful reviews. Hubby was less than enthusiastic also. Sorry. - 7/18/08
  • TRIPLE_EMME
     I HATE raisins; so I used craisins in their place. This tasted amazing -- very moist. I would make this again. - 2/26/08
  • BRAN74
     Ok so I don't know what I did wrong it was good but there was like NO batter. I don't know if I had my apples cut too big tho i don't think so. There of course was some batter to keep it together so what was there was great but....what did I do? I used walnuts instead maybe too many apples? - 10/21/08
