Granny's Apple Cake

Submitted by Tandy Higgins

"This cake is wonderfull served warm with a fresh cup of coffee-Yum! My mom always served this at Christmas and Thanksgiving. In order to have fresh apples on hand, you can go ahead and prepare the apples, add your sugar and place them in a freezer Ziploc baggie. Make sure to label the outside so that you will remember that your sugar has already been added for this recipe. Enjoy!"
