My friend Robin's Aunt Mary, both of whose parents were born in Hungary, was a legendary cook. This is one of her cakes--a very moist and delightful cake.

    This is a delicious apple cake. It's very similar to one my family makes often. I made this for my friend's birthday that I knew liked cakes with apples in them. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Made for ZWT4 - Jefes de la Cocina!

    First off, I am NOT GIVING STARS to this recipe, so you know it is not a mistake. I made this for ZWT4 Team Kumquat's Kookin' Kaboodles for the Eastern Europe destination. I have to say that since I am diabetic, I was told I could substitute ingredients to make them "diabetic friendly". I will let you know that I try very hard not to change a recipe on the first try, especially since I want my photo to accurately reflect the recipe, and the method and ingredients used be accurate as well. But for this, since I am avoiding the flour and sugar as refined whites, I substituted whole wheat pastry flour and out flour as well as Splenda granular, and also added a small amount of oil to offset the dryness of Splenda. The cake was a disaster using these substituted ingredients. I SO wanted this to turn out but it was not my day for diabetic friendly apple cake. But I did make this for the challenge, and wanted to let you and others know that this recipe does not take well to experiments and is probably best left to make as stated. I did have a photo as well, but, hehehe, you really don't want to see that train wreck. But thanks for sharing- I may make this sometime for my daughter, if I can get her to sit still in one place for more than 5 minutes. ~Sue
