INGREDIENTS

  • Cake
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups apples - peeled, cored and chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  •  
  • Topping
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  2. 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.
  3. 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. Pour over the cake.
  4. Bake in preheated oven until the top springs back when lightly touched, about 40 minutes. Cool to room temperature before serving.
