carolina apple cake
I got this apple cake from a cookbook of my mother's given to her by her sister and the church women composed this book. The recipe was submitted by a lady named Mary Jack Yellverton and the book titled Family Favorites of United Methodist Church, Eureka, NC. I do not know where she got the recipe but my mother had made it once and I wanted to try it. It is so moist and covered with a caramel sauce making me think of a caramel apple from the fair. It is tempting not to sit and eat the whole thing and would be good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some more caramel drizzled over top.
