This is a great apple cake recipe posted here 10 years ago by one of our favorite 'recipes forum' members.

So moist, and one thing use a whisk on the topping the whole time!! don't stop it will get like a light caramel color....well first its a white color then as you whisk it it darkens..WOW!!its so good..I might just double it the topping the next time.. also make sure you put the topping on it while its hot.

I like to use a combo of sweet and tart, Granny Smith & Honey Crisp (or any red type apple good for baking, etc.

I don't recommend Red Delicious type apples, they don't do as well in baking.

HTH!

ETA: I DO double the frosting (not ashamed!)
