My Mom's recipe for this cake was almost identical....always a crowd pleaser and best after aging a few days. If taking to a get together, be sure to make it a day or two ahead of time.<br/>Two changes I would also suggest....skip the nuts.....not necessary. Also, sprinkling a sugar/cinnamon mix over each layer of apples adds to both inside cinnamon marbling and overall attractiveness of cake.
