Delicious and moist. I am always asked for the recipe. I bake it in a 9 X 13" pan instead of a round cake pan. I also substitute Amaretto for the Calvados. I do not always have all the ingredients for the Apple Cider glaze and it is very forgiving with substitutions. High Altitude (1 mile): Increase temperature to 350, keep eggs cold and don't over beat, decrease baking soda to 3/4 tsp, remove 3 TLBS sugar, and add 2 TLBS of cider. There is a large amount of oil, and the cake seems a little greasy, but I have not experimented with reducing it. Pink Lady apples were flavorful and added some character to the cake.
