APPLE CAKE - GRANDMA'S RECIPE
My Grandma had me hand write this over 60 years ago. I had lost this recipe and just found it a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure you will enjoy it the way I have. My Grandma could not read or write, but she could bake and cook anything especially Cajun food as she was full blooded Cajun. So today I look back over the times that she taught me how to cook. So Grandma this is for you. I will be posting pictures later on in the week.
