I love apples and walnuts. It was great and all my guests at the party I gave want the recipe. – Reviewed by Dawn Swim
Very good but recommend adding 1/2 tsp nutmeg & 1 tsp cinnamon or 1 tsp ginger. Also for a healther recipe use 3/4 cup light olive oil in place of the butter. Delicious and good for you!! – Anonymous Review
It did not have the texture of a coffee cake, which I was counting on. It had the consistency of a "bread"-like banana bread. The flavor was a bit bland. I felt it really need some sort of spice. – Anonymous Review
