I am an old timer from TN. I learned how to make apple stack cake from my mother and used to make this cake often. You must use dried apples and the apples should be washed before using unless you dried them yourself. To make baking the cake layers easy, turn your cake pan upside down, grease the outside bottom of the cake pan, pat the cake layer on top of cake pan. Put the upside down cake pan in the oven and bake. When done use a spatula and it will slide right off the top of the cake pan like a giant cookie. My mother would put the hot dried apple mixture on the cake layers while they were still warm and store the cake in the refrigerator for days.
