EASY APPLE CAKE

Easy Apple Cake image

After testing many apple cake recipes with fresh apples, this old-fashioned cake is moist, dense and down-home delicious. Even better, it 's quick to fix and, served warm with whipped cream or a dollop of frozen custard, one of my family's very favorite recipes for decades. -Sherry Ashenfelter, Waterville, Ohio
