Fresh Apple Cake
From Holly’s Neighbor - Susan

My friend, Susan shared this Fresh Apple Cake recipe with me over 30 years ago after we bought a bushel of apples on an impulse buy.  We made many, many of these apple cakes from the apples and froze them -- with plans to eat them all winter.  Within days of finishing the apple cakes my husband's employer transferred him overseas -- so all our neighbors and friends got to eat these apple cakes instead of us!  Whenever I make this apple cake I think of that freezer full of fresh apple cakes.
