Directions:
Stew one package dried apricots with one cup sugar and some water until very tender. Mash and add 1 teaspoon nutmeg. Use equal amounts of apricots and applesauce. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in bowl. Cut in two cups margarine. Beat eggs with brown sugar and add to flour mixture. Add enough milk to make dough about like pie dough; it doesn't take much. Bake the layers in cake pans. Roll out the dough. Cut around the bottom of the pan to remove your layer. Bake at 350-375 degrees for 8-12 minutes. Let layers cool and stack with fruit filling.

Personal Notes:
This is a really old, family recipe. I remember my grandmother making these stack cakes for Christmas and giving them away in Elizabethton. Fifty years later, my cousin does the same thing in another state. Mama Davis, however, used the applesauce she made from her own apple tree. The stack cake was kept in the refrigerator, and it got better as it aged. Once it was found, it didn't last long! Vivian, daughter of Helen Morris Wildasin
