Apple Cake

We were given several bags of apples. We made applesauce, apple pie and apple butter. However, this is one of our favorite ways to use apples.  We love this apple cake!  It is so delicious and very easy to make. 

Ingredients

 2 eggs
1 1.2 c. oil
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 c. milk
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
3 c. flour
3 c. apples, peeled and chopped
1 c. pecans, chopped
Powdered sugar (optional)

 Directions

Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 cake pan. 

 In a large bowl, beat eggs, oil and sugar together until combined. Add the vanilla and milk. Mix until it is thoroughly incorporated. Scrape bottom and sides of the bowl occasionally.

With the mixer on low, add the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda.

Add the flour and blend the mixture together. 

By hand, stir in the apples and pecans. 

Bake for 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and cool.

When the cake is completely cool, dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
