This recipe was wonderful . I used 1 tsp orange extract, no vanilla. Yum! It’s now October, still baking this on a regular basis.

IiLeft this exact recipe on a cabinet door in a second floor apartment in Seagate, Brooklyn ,NY in appox 1985/86. It is wonderful recipe which I made for my family and friends hundreds of times. The recipe was given to me by a woman I worked with at Lens Express named Laura. It was an old family recipe that she really didn't share with anyone. The only thing I adjusted was I grated the apples on a safety grater. I am so excited to have found it again!

Just made this for my family Thanksgiving... they LOVED it. Literally the entire cake was gone (I had to secretly put some aside for my 2 year old who was napping-- who also loved it by the way). My family was RAVING about how great it tasted and the moistness (I used a tad more pumpkin and a shake of pumpkin pie spice and allspice in addition to the ingredients listed). I received requests and plan to make this again for Christmas!
