This cake was delicious. I happened to have some apple butter so I figured I would give this recipe a try. I added extra cinnamon and used three different apples - jonagold, honeycrisp, and granny smith. I didn't make the glaze, the cake was perfect with just a cup of coffee.

A great easy recipe. The edges came out a nice and crisp while the inside was still moist from the fresh apples. I too used a couple different apples and homemade apple butter. This is definitely a recipe I will reuse and share with others. I added the glaze with a scoop of ice cream to serve and it was a perfect combination.

Question - The instructions say to add vanilla, but it is not in the ingredients list. Should there be vanilla?
