This simple apple cake was baked by my great-grandmother on a wood stove over 100 years ago, and I'm happy to still be cooking it today. This recipe is timeless, rustic and highlights the flavors of both the apples and the spice. This old family recipe was one of the first that I adapted to experiment with the amazing world of spices and I'm thrilled to share it.
