Moist Apple Cake

Submitted by WildFamily

"There are hundreds of apple cake recipes on zaar, but I believe this one is slightly different. This is one of my favorite sweet treats, from an Amish cookbook - Cooking with the Horse & Buggy People. Based on preference, the apples may be peeled as well."

This recipe is very similar to my family's apple cake recipe (The only difference being that we'd use only one quarter or one half the salt called for). I make it again and again after apple-picking, and I hardly ever tire of it!

This recipe is easy and delicious. I had lots of pears and used them instead of apples and instead of nuts I used raisins. Everyone enjoyed it and I will be making it again. Thanks Kris Mex for a great recipe.
