I think that pan will only exist for this recipe! I've made this recipe twice already, the first time I made a half recipe (using granny smiths) which didn't look nearly as amazing because the apples were more spread out, but it was still delicious. The second time, I finally found McIntosh apples in my store and made the full recipe. It really did look like your picture...well I sorta singed a few apples on top but it still looked good :) And it was DEVOURED when I brought it to church. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!

It's a wonderful cake that will make your reputation as a great cook. One elderly gentleman tasted this once and told me he could make me a millionaire if I wanted to go in to business - on this cake alone! It freezes well, and like other comments, tastes even better the next day. It's also great for breakfast with a cup of coffee or glass of cold milk.

First of all, these comments span over a year! You rarely see that for a recipe. Secondly, my cake is in the oven ( in a Bundt pan) and by the texture I am sensing this one will come out great.Tried making a different Bundt cake recipe a month ago with the hand picked apples and it wasnt that great I think I overcooked it.Will be watching this one closely...

I'm sure I found a recipe for poached quince cake on smitten kitchen just a few days ago, but now it seems to have disappeared....is there any chance you just took it off the site, and might send it in an email? Or if I'm wrong, and you never had a quince recipe up here, I would still love to see any quince dessert recipe that you might have.... Thank you!! Annie Hello!

I just made it for a big group of guys (my husband and his friends) and they all loved it. One of them even asked for it for his birthday. :) And I did make one substitute to make it a little bit healthier: instead of using 1 c. oil, I used 1/2 cc. oil and 1/2 c. unsweetened apple sauce. And for WHEN I make it again (not if), I will most likely decrease the sugar by 1/2 c. Thank you so much! I loved this cake!

Perfect thing to greet my dad who just arrived from the airport! I made this tonight, much too late to go to the grocery store, so I made a bunch of substitutions for what I had available:

I was a little scared it did not turn out right because of the batter's consistency. The cake baked for about 40 minutes as well, so I was scared it was under baked. Once I cut into the cake however, it was pure magic. Thank you for this great recipe. It was extremely easy and delicious, coming from a 19 yr old college student. Thanks!
