Divide batter into six equal portions. Pat batter into six greased 9-inch pans. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 10-15 min. Cold.

- NOTE: This is an adaptation of an old family recipe. My grandmother made her cake using lard for the shortening in the cookie-like portion and used her homemade Apple Butter for the filling.
