Recipe 1 of the series of Nanny’s Porch! Whether it be birthdays or just because, Nanny knew what she was doing with this recipe! Honey the best apple cake this side of the Mississippi!

Fresh apples, pecans and a sweet vanilla flavor made this cake so yummy and moist.

So what made this cake so much fun was a big part of our childhood. We used to drive a little ways to pick pecans. Then we would shell them back at the house for the cake.

This recipe is so simple! Mixing and baking—and you won’t be upset about it.
