Based on the recipe from the Pepperidge Farm Cookbook/Margaret Rukin  

It's night here, nothing sweet was left,thinking of a NEW recipe to bake.. But which one?

So.. I remembered this Old Cookbook, the Pepperidge Farm Cookbook, I Love this book, I turn all the pages.. until I've stoped by this Apple cake recipe , the original recipe is for 2 cakes.. so I want only one..

I came to mom tonight, with a very big piece of this cake, and I told her- this cake.. is 'very knap' - this 'strange'.. word is a common phrase in our family, which means :less. For example, a low fat + low sugar cake , I think mom and dad love cake like this one ..[Is this a Yiddish word, mom..?], this word is used with Food , only..

So this cake is low.. not too sweet.. you can add more sugar for topping, as you like, here is the full recipe:
