phenomenal. apple cake enhanced by a toffee-ish crust sounds like a spectacular fall treat. summer, spring, or winter, too, for that matter.

One of my goals in life is to make and eat every single possible apple dessert. They are definitely my favorite and each time I see a new one I can’t help but put it on my to-make list. This one just went straight to the top of that list.

What would happen if I made this with white sugar? Good? Bad?

Veggie Girl – Luscious…a perfect description :)

Grace – I agree. This cake, while screaming, “Fall!” would be equally enjoyable at any time of year.

Tobias – I love toffee too! Thanks for stopping by.

Reginald – Thank you. Great thing is, this cake tastes as good (if not better) than it looks.

Maria – It is delicious (and easy to make, too). Hope you’ll give it a whirl.

Frenchie – An honorable goal indeed! :) So glad to hear this cake went straight to the top of your to-make list. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed (no one that’s tasted this cake has been disappointed yet).

Maris – Um, no. Stick with the light brown sugar, at least for the toffee topping. If there’s a valid reason you need (or want) to use white sugar in this recipe, then make the substitution in the cake portion if you must—but I really don’t suggest that. Trust me, the light brown sugar in this recipe is a nice, if not necessary, touch.

Now that sounds good! I love anything toffee, butterscotch, or caramel-y!

Btw, I’ve had that cookbook since it came out I guess I need to take a closer look at.

I could live with the aroma of baking apples and cinnamon every day. They say that if you want to sell your house, you should cook something with apples and cinnamon to fill the house with a welcoming aroma!

First off, I can can taste this just by looking at your pictures and I my mouth is watering!

Also, adding a bit of a guy’s perspective into the mix; I would argue that not only can you better position your house to be sold with a dessert like this, you can also better position yourself to find a mate or keep ones mate happy! I think I need to make this for my wife!

Thanks Sandie!

Totally lush cake, just looking at the pictures made me gain a few pounds! Thanks for sharing it, I am going to try it out tonight but with the addition of hot custard over the top!

It looks delicious! It really only serves 4-6 people? I wanted to make it for a birthday party, but we’ll be about 9-10 people. Do you think with ice cream it would be enough, or should I bake this for another occasion?

Jami – A few ideas: cut your wedges thinner & you can easily squeeze out 8 pie-shaped wedges (when served alongside ice cream—it will be plenty), or try slicing the cake into squares. Either method should give you enough to serve additional people with no leftovers.
