Shirley Lange's Apple Cake

Submitted by dusty AE

"Got this from WA CWA book-I think. It was that long ago. It is a lovely moist cake that keeps for ages. It was a staple when we went camping in the Flinders. It also makes a large cake...freezes well. Granny Smiths work well but any cooking apple would do."
