This moist cake is perfect for brunch. It gets its appeal from big chunks of sweet apples, nutty flavor and creamy frosting. The recipe, originally my mom's, is a unique harvest treat.

My batter was really thick - like brownie batter. The result was less like a cake and more like an apple blondie. It tasted alright; it just wasn't what I was expecting.

Make it without frosting and it's delicious on itself!
