Donna's Apple Cake

My coworker makes this ever so often for our Food Fridays. I've gotten the recipe from her and make it for occasional family gatherings. It's even been requested by my 7 year old cousin a couple times. "Luke's Apple Cake!" It is delicious, especially with the nuts. However, tend to the cooktime as the top may get dark brown and the interior still gooey.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 large eggs
• 1-1/4 cup veg oil (or 3/4 cup applesauce and 1/2 cup veg oil)
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 3 cups flour
• 1-1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup chopped nuts
• 3 cup chopped peeled apples (4-5 medium sized apples)

DIRECTIONS

Beat together egg, oil (apple sauce) and vanilla. Add flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. When completely mixed (batter will be thick, may want to add a small bit of water to help spreading) add chopped nuts and apples.

Spread batter in lightly greased 13x9 pan.

Bake at 325 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until knife in middle comes out clean. I usually cover with tin foil for 20 min, then uncover for remaining 40 min.

Serve warm or cold. Sprinkle with confectionery sugar if desired.
