Notes

Do not take this cake out of the oven before it has been in there 50 minutes. It needs the full time and maybe a little more, depending on your oven.
Be sure to peel and core your apples.
It can be hard to tell when this cake is fully cooked. When the top is browned is almost a sure-sign that it's done.
This is a very moist cake and needs to be kept in the refrigerator.
Any kind of baking apple can be used for this recipe!
5 cups of apple chopped is about 3 1/2 large apples.
