Winnie's Apple Cake

Many years ago a dear co-worker shared this recipe with me. Fairly quick to make with few ingredients.It has been a family favorite and my newly married daughter has requested it for her recipe box, too. It bakes into a really dense and hearty loaf rather than a cake. Depending on the juiciness of the apples, the baking time varies so be sure to test it with a toothpick to see if it is done. Otherwise, it will be a mass of "goo" in the center of the loaf! Hope you love it as much as we do!
