This apple cake has been a favorite for many years. I couldn’t resist making it a few times recently and had several requests for the recipe. Thought maybe some of you might enjoy it too. Made with mountain apples picked today, makes it extra special. If all goes as planned, there will be some waiting for you to taste at the Apple Festival tomorrow.
Mom’s Apple Cake
Cream together:
1/2 cup oil
1 cup apple sauce
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 T. Vanilla
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
3 cups flour
Add:
1 cup coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts
3 cups chopped apples
(Sometimes I add chopped dates, raisins, or mashed banana and an extra egg.)
Bake in a 9×13 pan at 375 for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours
(Extra yummy served with hot caramel topping).
Beautiful sunset tonight!
