Yum, this sounds really good, will have to try it with the carmel icing. Thanks for the post.


What a great memory, sparow, and I can see why you would request this - it sounds absolutely delicious, and I can't wait to try that wonderful sounding caramel icing...thanks for sharing your family recipe!


This looks really good. Can't wait to try it soon.



i tried this today and made tiny cupcakes. I iced half with the caramel and half with the cream cheese. both were a hit. thanks so much!!


This looks great! I'm hooked on apple desserts these days! I don't know why, but I am! LOL!


Looks wonderful!


Delicious! I am glad you mention this, I would not have seen it otherwise!


My aunt used to make this or a very similar cake for my birthday every year when I was young. I loved it and lost the recipe when I moved one time. So happy to find it again!


Wow gonna print try and save gotta love it high5


I made this cake the other night with the cream cheese icing and it was a hit. Everyone loved it and wanted seconds! Thank you for a great recipe!


OMG-People, this cake is incredible!! I made this cake, and it won rave reviews from everyone's lips that it passed. This was the first time I have ever made something for the first time,and taken it somewhere before knowing what it would taste like. This recipe certainly delivered,and went above and beyond on taste test, and is so moist. I think the cake taste the best room temp, not eaten cold from the 'fridge. You can't appreciate the moistness of this cake if it is cold. The caramel icing is a true labor of Love, and your arm will be tired, but it is truly worth it in the end for the result you recieve. The icing is wonderful!! I will definately make this cake from now on, there's no way I can't since people have tasted it. I appreciate a "Great" recipe.Thank You. Peace be to You.

This reminds alot like the one my mom made when I was young.We had it with the caramel icing cause it was cheaper to make,Great post,thanks:).


I put 1tsp. of cinnamon and 1tsp. of nutmeg in the one I made. I used Gala apples, and Kerrygold imported Irish butter.
