A few years ago, my friend, Jack, from church gave me this recipe for Apple Cake that his Aunt Mil always made. As soon the weather turns to fall, I have a yearning to make this cake. It always tastes delicious and is very easy to make. Thank you, Jack, for sharing your aunt’s recipe with me. It has brought joy to me and to all those who have tasted this Fall treat!

Aunt Mil’s Apple Cake
INGREDIENTS
2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 and 1/2
teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup vegetable
oil
1 and 3/4 cups
sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon
vanilla
4 medium apples, peeled and coarsely chopped (I like Golden
Delicious)
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon Apple Pie spice (I add this to the
apples. It is not in Aunt Mil’s recipe).
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
DIRECTIONS
Set oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9x13 baking pan with baking spray.
Sift together flour, baking soda and cinnamon. Stir to be
sure that it is thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
Combine vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in
flour mixture.
Add optional Apple Pie Spice to apples. Stir gently.
Gently add apples and walnuts to the batter. Stir to combine.
Don’t over mix.
Pour into baking pan and spread so that batter is evenly
dispersed.
Bake for 50 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted
into the center of the cake.
(Note: This is a good snacking cake as is, but you could up
it a notch by topping it with a cream cheese icing and sprinkling some toasted
chopped walnuts on top).
