This cake is not worth the effort. It's just an average apple cake.

The cake was a little dry. I think I overbaked it.

This cake is a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of apples, but I loved this cake. The apples were cooked perfectly and they didn't overpower the other flavors.

This cake is so good! The apples give it a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the cake. I also love the streusel topping. It adds a nice crunch.
