Apple Cake
A very moist cake filled with lots of apples. Great with whipped topping or a dusting of confectioner's sugar. This cake recipe came from Veronica Soltys and has became a family tradition in which each fall the cakes were made and shipped out via next day delivery to all of the kids at college with extras taken into work. It was always special to hear about the kids receiving their cakes and trying to make sure that they had a piece before their friends found out that the cakes had arrived.
