Hmm- you might consider my recipe under-appled, as it calls for applesauce. Of course I usually eat it with more warm applesauce over the top, so I don't notice any lack of apple! It's not underspiced though- it comes out very dark and sweet with lots of cinnamon, allspice and cloves. I'm very fond of it- it was my grandmother's recipe and one I ate a lot as a child. You could try adding an additional couple of cups of diced apple to the batter if you wanted more apple.
