Pennsylvania Dutch Apple Muffin Cake

We are in apple season so that means lots of delicious goodies that Granny Smiths or honeycrisps can find their way into.  Amish kitchens are full of apple-infused cakes, muffins, jams, salads and ciders this time of year.  Yum!  This recipe comes to me from a Mennonite woman in Pennsylvania. Enjoy!
