Gooey Sorghum Apple Cake
From Miami County Locally Grown
<p>This recipe is from a 16 page, free recipe book WalMart put out before Christmas a few years ago. It calls for a caramel sauce as the topping, but I think the result is more like a bar dessert than a cake, and it is delicious without the sauce… very moist and delicious warm or cooled.</p>Source: Walmart Great Value Holiday Recipes, submitted by Cheryl Mattingly (Entered by Lee Ruff)
