Apple Stack Cake

Ingredients:

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 6 cups all-purpose flour 
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1/2 cup buttermilk

Apple Filling:

• 16 ounces dried apples
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

Preparation:

Cake: Cream the granulated sugar and butter together. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Measure flour, sift with other baking powder and soda; add to batter, alternating with buttermilk and vanilla. Divide dough into six or eight parts. Use a well-floured board to roll into rounds, if baking on cookie sheets, or pat into well-greased 9-inch pans. Bake at 400° until browned.

Filling: Cook apples just enough water to cover, until soft; mash thoroughly. Stir in sugar and spices. Cool before spreading between layers.
