Apple Dessert
Mrs. e. Brownrigg

2 cups sugar, 1 white and 1 brown
1 cup shortening, ( when I made this I used margarine)
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup chopped nuts
4 cups diced apples

Cream sugar and shortening. Add eggs and beat. sift flour , baking powder, soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix with apples and nuts. Mixture will be rather firm, but apples will provide juice while baking. Batter is thick ,so it will have to spread into baking pan with a spoon. Bake in a 350 degrees oven for 30 minutesa. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
