Apple Cashew nut Cake

It was when we came from Apple picking & could not think what to do with soooo many apples..... well one idea was to distribute them to all our friends.. but they too came with us for apple picking . Hmmm now what..?

We made some apple sauce for my daughter, she was too old for it but she likes it :). then what ? And my friend said she can bake some pie & cakes for me (that's b'cas i didn't know baking....). And this way i learnt to bake cake.... And that's why this cake is soooo special for me, its was my first successful cake :))
