Apple Cake

It's that time of the year...apples are plentiful and apple desserts are the best! This moist apple cake recipe is written on the back of a stained and worn recipe card...an adaptation of my favorite carrot cake...and I have been baking it for many years. While I'm at it, I usually bake a double recipe and put one cake in the freezer without icing...it's handy to pull out at a moments notice and serve for dessert with ice-cream and caramel sauce. We are in the middle of corn harvest on the farm...and the guys like a treat out in the fields every once in awhile. I baked them an apple cake yesterday...which they ate off disposal plates, with a plastic fork and without the flower...but enjoyed nonetheless!
