I really need to give this a try. I've never used orange juice as an ingredient for an apple cake before and I'm curious as to what it adds to the taste. I love the idea of the cinnamon and sugar layer halfway through the cake and this sounds delicious. I like the idea of topping it with some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, but this sounds great just plain, along with a cup of coffee or tea.
