Mama's Apple Crumb Cake

"Apple crumb cake: a divine, four layer cake straight out of my mom’s kitchen. A friend recently told me he paid $10 for two pounds of apples. He works for the UN in Africa. When he returns to work from a vacation back home, instead of clothes he brings suitcases full of Granny Smiths. Meanwhile, my fruit bowl overflows with fruit most of which meets its natural demise before I remember to eat it. This never happens at my mom’s house. If she hasn’t consumed it, as soon as she sees fruit approaching ripeness she thinks of a way to use it. Getting back to apples, there are always some of them laying around. And so there is always an apple dessert somewhere around the house. My favorite is the apple crumb pie."
