Family Recipe Friday - Apple Sauce Cake

This is another recipe in my Granny (Nora Inman) Conley's  handwriting.  The faded word in the top right corner is good and was written by my mother, Iva.  I have no idea what the red check mark means or who put it there.  The recipe was written in pencil and is very dim.  A transcription follows:
