Comments

Note: If you're going to eat the cake within a couple of days leaving it out of the refrigerator probably won't hurt, but any longer and it needs to be refrigerated. The second day after baking it is moister because of the apples. It is great!! Enjoy!!

I got this recipe from the Warren County RECC in Bwoling Green, Kentucky. It was given to me when my sister, Gail Lewis and I went by their drive through window to pay her electric bill. Apparently they give out a recipe each month. This was labeled "Recipe of the Month-September 2000".
