This is probably one of the best cakes I've ever eaten.  It's a simple cake recipe but what really makes it delicious is the glaze that is drizzled over the top.  My aunt gave me a huge pile of apples from her tree in Mt. View, California and with the apples she gave me this recipe.  I also used some of them for this "healthier" Fresh Apple Cake which we loved too.

    This is a GREAT cake recipe. My baking skills are limited but this was so easy. The cake is just delicious. It really doesn't need anything else alongside but we did serve it with a dollop of lightly-sweetened whipped cream. Your family and guests will love it.
