Here's the recipe I said I would post. I got it from a friend in Maryland and I don't know where she got it so hope I'm not violating any copyright.
Apple Nut Cake Serves 15-20 depending on
how large the pieces are cut
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups pared, diced apples (about 3-4 large apples should do it; sliced or diced works)
1 cup pecan pieces (optional)

Topping:
stick margarine or butter cut into pieces
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk

Grease and flour a 9"x13"x2" baking pan. Preheat oven to 350 F. Sift together flour,
baking soda and salt. In large mixer bowl mix together oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Blend dry ingredients into second mixture. Stir in apples (and pecan pieces). Spread
evenly into pan and bake for 55-60 minutes.
Near end of cooking time make topping. Combine margarine or butter, brown sugar and milk in saucepan. Let boil about 2 1/2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over cake while still hot, after poking holes in the cake (with a toothpick or other sharp point) so the topping can penetrate.
