MOTHER'S FRESH APPLE NUT CAKE

It's tradition!

Every October, I bake Mother's infamous

Apple Nut Cake!

She was voted "Cook of the Month"

in Jackson and this was one of her prize- winning recipes!

I fondly remember coming home from school

and smelling this freshly baked apple cake

during the fall months....especially October!

I have baked this cake ever since I was married

each and every fall....without fail.

In fact...just as the Divine Miss M

and I were talking yesterday morning,

I mentioned I was just putting Mother's cake in the oven

and

she replied...."Oh, I LOVE that cake!"
