    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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 .

    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

    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

    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

    I made this with subs:1/2 raisins and 1/2 dried cranberries. 1/8 c. olive oil and 1/4 c. cinnamon applesauce, 11/2c. whole wheat flour and 1c. white flour, and accidentally put in 6 c. apples instead of 5. I would chop my apples smaller next time. Takes time due to peeling but everyone liked it. - 10/20/08

    This turned out FANTASTIC! Followed the recipe except didn't have pecans so I chopped up Almonds. Sliced the Apples into tiny pieces. The important thing is to let the apples sit with their sugar for the full 30 minutes - - made 'em juice up well. Baked 20 mins. in cupcake molds & froze 'em. WOW - 4/22/09
