This is a recipe from Barry's childhood. It is his favorite cake, and he has passed his love for it on to Savannah--she requests it for everything!
1 Cup shortening
2 Cups sugar
3 eggs
4 Cups apples, peeled and grated (try to use a mixture of tart and sweet--granny smith and golden delicious, for example)
1 Cup chopped walnuts
3 Cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons nutmeg
2 teaspoons soda
1 teaspoon salt
Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Stir in apples. Sift together dry ingredients and stir in. Bake 35-45 minutes at 350 degrees.
Butter Sauce
1 Cup sugar
1 cube butter (do not use margarine!)
1 can evaporated milk
Stir together over medium heat until thoroughly combined and bubbly. Serve warm over cake.
Left over cake should be refrigerated, and actually tastes better the next day! This cake freezes well.

Oooooh boy, that looks really yummy! We aren't big cake eaters over here, but I think that this one would pass with flying colors.
