The Appalachian Stack Cake

My paternal grandmother always had one of these under glass every time I ever remember visiting. She was a tremendous cook, making three meals every day starting with breakfast before dawn. I learned to make biscuits from her, but she never taught me this recipe. 

Here are two versions, one with dried apples and one with apple butter. If you have never tried it, it’s a great holiday cake.

My uncle made this cake every Thanksgiving/Christmas throughout my childhood. It was his mother's recipe and my aunt wrote it down. I've always been intimidated by most of her recipes because the instructions and measurements are often vague and the handwriting isn't always legible. I will have to try again.
