Extreme Apple Cake

Submitted by Country Girl 2

"This is by far the best cake, one of my faves. and it's so easy. You can top it with cream cheese or cool whip, or serve it with a scoop of ice cream, but I prefer it by it's self. FYI the longer the cake sits the better it is."

This has become my new go-to recipe for apples.....<br/><br/>We picked 200 pounds from a friend's tree, and I wanted a recipe that would use a lot of apples.... so I searched the internet for "extreme apple cake." This is the first entry that popped up, and I have now made 6 batches. The cake is moist, filled with apple pieces, and really tasty.<br/><br/>The things I changed a bit were adding 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp of cloves, 1/4 tsp of nutmeg, topping with sparkling sugar, and baking it several minutes longer. I found that having it be a little browner let the crust caramelize, and gave it a wonderful flavor.<br/><br/>I made the recipe into a 9x13 pan, then 2 loaf pans, then cupcakes. All have been wonderful. The cake keeps really well too, so it is great for gifts!<br/><br/>THANKS for the wonderful recipe!
