Time 1h25m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup shortening
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
3 cups apples - peeled, cored and chopped
½ cup chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons margarine
1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • To make the cake, cream the sugar and shortening together in a mixing bowl. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a second bowl. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Fold in the apples and walnuts until evenly blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
  • To make the topping, place the milk, margarine, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir to dissolve the brown sugar, and cook until the margarine melts. Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a baking sheet to prevent spillovers. Pour the topping over the cake.

  • Toss the apples with a mixture of sugar, flour, and spices before adding them to the cake batter. This will help to prevent the apples from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
  • Use a combination of baking powder and baking soda in the cake batter. This will help the cake to rise properly.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven, to ensure that it cooks evenly throughout.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cake to set properly.
