  extremely quick and hassle free to make, turned out good - not exactly a show piece but great if you want a quick cake with only staples in the house (and you don't feel like making a crumble or a pie). added two chopped bananas along with the apples, worked well, I'm sure walnuts would be great too. thanks for sharing the recipe!

  A lovely cake/pudding that my hungry teenage boys loved. I got a bit nervous when layering in the pan as the mixture didn't seem to cover the apple. It turned out really well though. Very 'farmhouse kitchen'.

  I had to add a little extra milk to the mixture, but this a fantastic recipe, easy even for someone who struggles with cooking :-) And it tastes great!

  Delicious ! - I have made this cake twice in one week! First time I added walnuts - second time I added blueberries. Recommend adding blueberries! Also bought some Waitrose cinnamon sugar for the dusting/sprinkling. 10/10 for this recipe!

  This cake is beautifully moist. I added an extra egg and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the recipe as me and my kids love it. I also misread the recipe and thought that I should grate the apple (oops) but this created a lovely texture - kind of puddingy rather than cakey. I made a cinnamon butter icing which I piped round the edges, this worked really well. I am just making it for the second time, this time I have used 1 and a half times the mixture and 3 eggs. I hope it is as yummy as the first time!

  Not that impressed to be honest, the quantities make an extremely dry mixture (unable to use) even though it states it should be fairly wet, also simple things like cooking or eating apples? What is 175 in gas? What weight of apples rather than saying 4 or 5? (The consistency will then vary if they are small or big apples.) Recipe needs refining.

  This was a very easy recipe to put together, and after a few tweaks we ended up with a delicious result. We found that the mixture was very dry (not wet as stated in the recipe) so we added a little extra milk. We also found that the cake needed an extra 15-20 minutes in the oven to cook through properly.

  Super simple with excellent results. I was sceptical as it was so easy and quick to prepare but came out delicious. I used a medium egg and a lot more cinnamon than a sprinkle!
