This recipe was brought in to work by one of our volunteers. She is the sweetest lady. I am not a big fan of anything with apples, just never have been. This is really good, it is very moist and dense. I made it tonight for my husband, as he tends to like apple things, like apple cobbler, apple pie, etc. I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it was perfect.
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 c. oil
- 2 c. sugar
- 1 tsp. soda
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 3 c. plain flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3 c. peeled, chopped apples
- 1 c. nuts
Beat eggs, add oil, then sugar and vanilla. Sift flour, soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to egg mixture, fold in apples and nuts. Bake at 375° for about an hour.
I have picky eaters, so I only put in 1/2 cup of pecan chips (you can use whatever nuts you like), and I ended up taking it out of the oven at just over 45 minutes and probably could have taken it out 5 minutes earlier. You have to check it every so often. I served it warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. It is delicious. My 3 yr. old son said, “Mommy can you thank that nice girl at work for the cake.”. The lady that gave me this recipe is in her 70’s so I am sure she will be tickled when I relay his message. Happy Baking!
