Drizzled with warm caramel sauce, this classic and comforting, old-fashioned dessert is an heirloom recipe. “It was passed down from my Great-Aunt Syd,” writes Anne Livingston from Evanston, Illinois. “It’s so good in wintertime and no one ever guesses it’s as light as it is!” TASTY TIP Chopped pecans make an easy but elegant substitute in this recipe.

I loved this dessert, it was quick and easy to do and found it very moist.

I added 1 tablespoon canola oil and 2 tablespoons of applesauce. I omitted the walnuts due to family's allergies. I used about 3 cups of shredded McIntosh apples. It took longer than 30 minutes to bake but the cake turned out very moist. Poured carmel sauce over cake about 5 minutes after removing it from oven. Everyone loved it. I plan to use the carmel sauce for other cakes.
