This was so easy and delicious! I made a triple batch for a couple of events without testing it first —everyone loved it! Wonderful moist texture and great flavor. I added about 1/4 tsp of pumpkin pie spice per batch to the batter because it tasted a bit bland to me. I’ll try 1/2 tsp and/or extra cinnamon next time. It baked in the time suggested for me. Great cake, I’m a kind of picky baker and I your recipes never disappoint!

Crunchy edges, big apple flavor. Fall perfection.

Fall perfection!! Moist and delicious, the whole family loves it. Didn’t have apple cider so just steamed in water, and was so good. Also took a little longer in the oven for me.

Used light brown sugar instead of dark – turned out great, but too sweet for my personal liking. I think the sugar could be cut down to 1 1/4 cup or maybe even 1 cup. Like others have said, I baked it for about 40 minutes.

I’m confused by this as well! It sounds like they’re being cooked directly in the liquid, not the steam

In reply to Jess. Hi! So glad you enjoyed the recipe. Every oven varies and sometimes the reading of the thermometer can be off.

This snack cake is amazing! Almost a Carmel Apple vibe, or a butterscotch brownie apple coffee cake situation.

I’ve made it twice now and both times it took 15 minutes longer to bake than the recipe said. Not sure why but I’m guessing I’m sogging the apples too much or something?? My over has a thermometer, and I’m weighing ingredients so that’s all I can think of.

These were wonderful, even better than expected. I loved the texture, they are a cross between a blondie and a coffee cake. They were moist and gave apple cider donuts vibes especially with the sugar topping topping! I didn’t have any Apple Jack but put in a splash of VT Sapling Maple bourbon whiskey and also a little boiled cider. Mine took 10 -12 minutes longer in the oven than the recipe called for. Will absolutely make these again!

Amazing. I halved the recipe and did an extra tsp of boiled cider and then baked in a loaf pan. 30 minutes and came out beautifully. Thick and moist like a blondie but the dark brown sugar notes with apple feels much more grown up.

This was delicious, the crumble on top was great and it tasted really good even without the apple cider! Mine took longer to bake prob closer to 45 min. Thanks!
