Cooking Apple cake?

[Deb in IA]

Anyone got a good recipe for apple cake?

We have a bumper crop of apples this year. We've made apple crisp, apple pie, apple butter.
We've dehydrated a bunch into apple chips.

But we still have apples!

I remember a great apple cake that I had in the past, and was wondering if anyone has a good recipe for this?

This was my grandmother's recipe. I have no idea why it's called "noble". It was something she always made, but I never knew her name for it until after she passed away. It's really good. The top comes out crispy and the inside moist. One tip is to actually not wrap the cake after it cools (if it lasts long enough to wrap). The moisture in the apples makes the top get really mushy and wet if you wrap it up. I hope you enjoy it.
