Apple Cake

Like I mentioned in my previous post we have an abundance of apples that I am trying to use up before they go bad. I came across this recipe for an Apple Cake that we acquired from Jason's mom so I knew immediately I needed to give it a try. We still have so many recipes of Phyllis' and I feel like I have only tried a handful of them so I am always excited to test out a new one. I used half whole wheat flour with the all purpose but if you want to stick to the original recipe just use 2 1/2 cups of the all purpose flour. The recipe calls for a tube pan but since I have not yet invested in one I used a bundt pan instead. You could probably make this in a shoe box and it would still taste amazing, although that is not my recommendation.
