This is my DH favorite cake, I have tried many apple cakes over the years and this is a winner!! So moist and dense, with a caramel taste, cannot say enough, just try it and see.

- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Glaze topping for cake
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/3 cup whipping cream

In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, soda and salt. Make a well in the center and set aside.2
In a medium bowl combine eggs, oil, apple juice and vanilla. Stir in apples and nuts. Add the egg mixture to dry ingredients, just until moistened.3
Spread batter in a greased and floured 9 x 13-inch pan. Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes.4

Very moist cake. I replaced half the oil with apple sauce and cut the sugar back to 1.5 C, it turned out wonderfully.

I found this cake to be too sweet. I might try making it again with 50% less sugar in the glaze.

Utterly and amazingly delicious. I could not be happier right now! I did substitute half the oil with applesauce. It worked just fine for me. One thing not to do though, is sub the cream for skim milk. I didn't have any cream, so I used milk, and it did not work well. I'm glad I found this recipe now, and I don't have to look for any more! Great recipe, thanks for posting!

Directions were easy to follow. I did cut back on the sugar by a half a cup, and used pecans instead of walnuts because they were opened. I`m not much on sweets,but have to tell you I tried one piece and of course had to "try" another.Not a great idea right before supper time. Maybe I will make a light supper so I can "try" some more. My Dh said it was excellent and to make it a keeper. Next time I may double the sauce recipe ,and see how it turns out. This would be fantastic served with ice cream. Thanks so very much Rose of Sharon for sharing this recipe. chef no. 199947
