Apple Cake

If you are anything like me and love a good apple dessert, you will love this Apple Cake my mom has made for years. This cake is soft, dense, packed with yummy delicious apples and has the most amazing frosting.

Any type of apples will work and since it is such a dense cake your cook time may vary depending on ovens.

FROSTING
1 stick of margarine
1 cup of brown sugar
4 tsp cinnamon
4 tbsp flour

Mix all ingredients together and then spread on cake after it has cooled.
Another option would be to bake it with the cake. This is the way our mother used to make it and both choices are delicious!

Then add nuts (optional) and serve!!! YUM!

This would be a wonderful dessert for Thanksgiving and served with an excellent cup of coffee. Happy Baking!
