Cake
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups apples - peeled, cored and chopped
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Topping
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons margarine
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
2
To make the cake, cream the sugar and shortening together in a mixing bowl. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a second bowl. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Fold in the apples and walnuts until evenly blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish.
3
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
4
To make the topping, place the milk, margarine, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir to dissolve the brown sugar, and cook until the margarine melts. Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a baking sheet to prevent spillovers. Pour the topping over the cake.
5
Return the cake and baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool to room temperature before serving.
