Now that looks like my kind of cake LT!! Do you think it would work in an ordinary angel food cake pan, since I don't have a spring form?
What kind of apples do you use?
I don't bake, but this looks so good I'm really tempted to give it a go.

OMG...I'm drooling. Pecans are on our no no list here, but that cake screams for a nut. Do you think hazelnuts would work? Or almonds? I don't think almonds would be the best choice but thats what I have right now.

I don't see why not........ I'm not the best baker in the kitchen, so I don't deviate from the recipe.........cooking is another story tho'......... we used Granny smith Apples.

I think maybe I would, if I was gonna, use walnuts..........

That looks fabulous. I'm going to try it with walnuts.

I have a chocolate cake recipe that uses walnuts or pecans. I have experimented and if I want to use almonds, I only use half the quantity.

Makes me think of that old song for apple pan dowdy -makes your eyes light up, your tummy say howdy.

I can't use walnuts either. She is allergic to both pecans and walnuts. My other daughter is allergic to cashews. Weird huh? It limits what I can put in baking and those are my three MOST used nuts. Rotten beasts! How dare they develop those allergies!

Alix, I have a similar recipe that calls for coconut - and that one is really great too. Could you use coconut?

I made the Apple dapple cake and it is really delicious but very rich.

Thanks, luckytrim for posting it.

That just looks scrumptious. I've had a taste for apples or lemony things of late.
