When I was growing up we always spent every Christmas in N. Carolina at my grandparents house, my gramma would make her Stack Cake each year, a very thin spice cake layer made in her cast iron skillet, bake in her wood cookstove and then stacked on plate with a filling made from dried apples that she had dried herself earlier in the fall. She also took some dried apples and cooked them up as a filling for her famous Dried Apple Fried Pies. I still make the fried pies, with dried apples I buy at the grocery store and pie crust I buy in dairy dept............but the stack cake I have never been able to duplicate................I have cast iron skillets............I guess I need the wood cookstove lol. My gramma passed away at age 100 back in 1990, but our family has many fond memories of her great cooking.
