I've been a fan of apple cakes ever since my father baked one when I was home from college one Christmas. It's become a favorite of mine for years, and I always like to try out variations of the basic recipe. This one sounds quite delicious and I want to try it out soon. When I've made the cakes before, I've noticed that they stay moist for a remarkably long time. It's gone well before it has a chance to dry out.

When you go to the supermarket look in the dairy dept at the container of egg substitute and it will tell you the equivalent to fresh eggs.

Would love to try this apple cake recipe; however, don't have - or plan to have- egg substitute in my kitchen. How many eggs (I have chickens) and how much butter (no margarine, either) would I need to go forward with this recipe? Thanks for your help!
