Fresh Cran-Apple Cake

This is a relatively new recipe in my house. My mom got it from one of her elderly aunts. I've made it a couple of times in the last year and always get good reviews from friends and family. It goes together fairly quickly and makes your home smell wonderful while it is baking.
