GRANDMA'S FRESH APPLE CAKE
This recipe is a family favorite, we even serve it for birthdays, just add a dusting of powdered sugar! My Grandmother Marguerite L.C. Seelhorst made this every time we came to visit. It is easy to make, and feeds a large gathering.

Steps:
- 1. Grease and flour a 9 X 12 X 3 pan and set aside.
- 2. Peel and chop apples. You may add 1 tsp. of lemon juice to the apples to prevent browning. Chop nuts. Set aside.
- 3. Cream together the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs and combine.
- 4. In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
- 5. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture a little at a time. Fold in the 3 cups of apples and the chopped nuts. The batter will be STIFF!
- 6. Place in the greased and floured pan. You will need to use a spoon or your hands to push the batter evenly into the pan. Don't worry, it will come out beautifully even though it looks lumpy!
- 7. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Cake is done when it is nicely browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- 8. Allow to cool on a rack. This cake is delicious served warm with ice cream! Let it cool a bit first though. It also travels well, allow it to cool completely.
