This is one of those wonderful recipes that takes me back to my childhood. It's a fabulous cake my Grandmother used to make when we would visit. It would make their whole house smell of cinnamon, apples, and warm sugar. She'd serve it still warm with vanilla ice cream, mmmm. The last time I had this was 30 years ago, and just recently my Uncle found the recipe and passed it to me. Thanks Uncle Bob, and thanks Grandma!
