Preheat oven to 350F.
Prepare a 9x13 pan with baking spray.

In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in well. Add the shredded apples, flour, baking soda and spices. Mix well. Add the optional chopped walnuts.

Pour in the prepared cakepan.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick tests clean.

I like to make this several days in advance to allow the cake to ripen.

Warm Brown Sugar Sauce
Mix the brown sugar and cornstarch well. Add the water. Heat almost to a boil stirring frequently until thickened and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Serve warm.

What kind of apples did you use? And how many did you use for 4 cups of shredded apples? And how did you shred them? - 10/14/12

I made it with whole weat flour. The general consensis was that it tasted like a muffin =) It was heavy, but extremely moist. - 10/13/09

This is the best apple cake I have ever had. I'm not sure it will stay around long enough for the flavor to "ripen". (I rated this 1 star before by mistake--this cake is absolutely great!!! - 1/8/09

This cake turned out so good and moist. I even loved it after a few days when the apples had more flavor. - 12/6/08
