Apple Dapple Cake

Wanted to share an awesome recipe with all of you. My dear hubby is so selfless that he never thinks of himself. If I am making out a menu or grocery list he will never be specific about what he would like. He is NOT a picky eater. So the other week when he said he would like an Apple Cake I wanted to make it my goal to make sure he got that before the baby came. My mother-in-law is who I turn to for recipes and she does make an Apple Cake. I called her and asked her for this recipe, thank you Joan! I had never made an Apple Cake before and I was really worried that it would not be any count...but Bryan LOVED it and went on and on about how good it was! I have to agree it was a very delicious cake! I thought I would share it and maybe you too could try it out and see what you think! Enjoy!! (Again thanks to my mother-n-law for this recipe!)
