Directions

1. Cake:

2. Preheat Oven 325

3. Combine flour, sugar, soda, salt and spices in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. (You can use an electric mixer with the recipe but easily can be done spatula or wooden spoon.) Add Apples, Shortening, Nut and Eggs, beat until well combined. Pour into a greased 9×13 inch pan. Bake for about 45 minutes.

4. Frosting:

5. Melt Butter in a saucepan, add brown sugar and salt. Stir over medium heat until sugar melts add milk and bring to a boil.
