"This is a simple and extremely delicious cake. The recipe was inspired by my Polish great-aunt, and she made her spectacular apple cakes practically every weekend. My Polish apple cake is filled to the brim with finely chopped apples, and every mouthful is pure wholesome goodness." – Teresa Cutter
