My brother is a big fan of the Peppermill. I'm with kylie71 though that I prefer the Atlantis buffet over the Peppermill one. It's been a few years since I've been to either though.
The cake was good. Here's where I got the recipe if you're interested:

It actually only uses 3 apples. I've only made any headway with the box of apples because I made some applesauce at the same time.
Apple Hill was a nice diversion to get away from home for a few hours on a fall Sunday. We used to take the boys when they were really little but hadn't been back in six years. DS13 and DS11 mostly enjoyed the experience as an exercise in trying as many things with apples and sugar as they could, so we had apple donuts, dumpling, and strudel. We skipped cake since I make that and pie since DH will probably make one soon. We also stopped at the place that specializes in fudge and got a few pieces of that. So it was a sugar rush day. We had fun and it was nice to go somewhere different from home although it is very commercial and crowded these days.
Served it with pasta and cut up sourdough bread dipped in dipping vinegar and had a glass of wine as well. So so so so good!
I stayed at the Atlantis years ago, I remember enjoying myself but not enough to remember whether or not I'd like the buffet better. LOL
