Fresh Apple Cake

My husband was out of town for business in Jacksonville, Florida and brought home from his trip 6-7 Granny Smith apples from the hotel. He said, "I know you like them and you enjoy baking with them".  Now does that sound like a request for some dessert or what? 

I have had this apple cake recipe for years but have not made it in quiet some time. I guess I just needed those apples!

This is an easy recipe to whip up. The most time consuming part is peeling and chopping the apples. You can probably use only 2 apples but we like lots of apples in this dish so I put in 3 apples. 

The smell of apples and cinnamon while cooking was lovely. My husband was eating it while it was still warm. Later he added whipped cream on top. 

I sent some into work and it was a hit. You could have it as a dessert, for breakfast, or afternoon tea.
