Hi Nancy - It has warmed up a little - very little, but it is nice. The sun is out for a change. This recipe is for Erma in Sullivan, Mo. I found this recipe in a Farm Journal Cookbook about 30 years ago. It is still the recipe I use when I make apple cake. Sometimes I make a hard sauce to put on it, but usually we have it warm with vanilla ice cream on it.

Knobby Apple Cake
3 T. butter
1 C. sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 C. sifted flour
3 C. diced apples
1/4 C. chopped nuts
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream butter and sugar; add eggs; mix well. Sift dry ingredients together; add to creamed mixture. Stir in diced apples, nuts and vanilla. Pour into greased 8x8x2 pan. Bake in moderate oven 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Serve hot or cold, with or without whipped cream or ice cream.
