Grandma’s Yummy Apple Cake is a delightful dessert and a recipe that my family has passed down through the years. It’s also a tasty way to use some of those fresh juicy ripe apples! 

This year my parents had an abundance of apples on their trees and this made my entire family very happy. Why? Because my parents are very generous and share their bounty with us and that means we can make a variety of scrumptious apple recipes, including apple cake!
