Banana Apple Cake

So I'm grating the apples for this cake today, fully thinking I'm using the right apples. Then I thought to myself, wait! Banana apples? These are Golden Delicious apples. Is there such a thing as Banana apples? YES! I remember banana apples. I think we used to have a tree in our orchard. They are a round, yellow apple. The silly thing is, though, that I bought these Golden Delicious apples with this recipe in mind! I guess I shouldn't admit my brain lapse. Anyway, I think the cake was good. I gave it away but stole a little sliver first.

1 cup sugar
1 egg
1½ cups flour
2 cups grated banana apples
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
Cream sugar, shortening, egg & salt. Add flour, soda & apples. Grease baking dish 7½x12. Top with the following: 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1 tsp. cinnamon. Bake at 350°F for 50 min. (Serve with warm whipped cream.)

A note about this recipe: I didn't have a give-away 7x12 pan so I used a 9x13. It came out a little thin, so I only baked it 40 minutes, which was about right.
