Easy Apple Cake

Didn't get a chance yet to go apple picking - hope too soon if it's not too late! Meanwhile, got a big bag of delicious apples at the market.  Love the smell of apple baking so went looking for an easy recipe to use some of the apples I bought.





When a recipe says "easy" in the title - I love it even better!! and the recipe taken from achowlife was!!
