I have just re-discovered this family favorite. I decided that since I was putting it on the forum I was on I might as well share it with everyone. My family got it from a lady that was in our church.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Apple Cake
  • Nancy Stewart-Glenwood Springs

  • 1C. Vegetable Oil

  • 3C. Flour
  • 1C. Chopped Nuts(Walnuts)
  • 2t. Vanilla
  • 3C. Chopped, Peeled Apples
  • 2 C. Sugar-2T.
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 t. Soda
  • ½ t. Salt

  • Combine oil and sugar. Add well-beaten eggs and vanilla. Measure and sift together flour, salt and soda. Add dry ingredients to first mixture. Stir in chopped fresh apples and nuts and combine thoroughly. Pour into tube or a 13” x 9” pan. Bake at 300degrees until done.*

  • Caramel Glaze for Fresh Apple cake:

  • 1 C. Light Brown Sugar
  • ½ C. Butter
  • 1 t. Vanilla
  • ¼ C. Evaporated Milk

  • Place butter and sugar in double boiler and allow to melt; blend well, add evaporated milk(or could use cream) and bring to a full boil. Cool and add vanilla. Spread evenly over cake.

  • *The first time I made this I do not remember if I baked it at 300. I don’t think I did. I made a 9 x 13 and it took about an hour and a half and I believe I baked it at 325. The second time I made it I made it into cupcakes and I started out at 300 and it was taking forever so I bumped it up to 325 and finished them. I think that they still took close to an hour to bake and these were your standard size cupcakes.

Instructions

  1. Combine oil and sugar. Add well-beaten eggs and vanilla. Measure and sift together flour, salt and soda. Add dry ingredients to first mixture. Stir in chopped fresh apples and nuts and combine thoroughly. Pour into tube or a 13” x 9” pan. Bake at 300degrees until done.*

This is an extremely slow oven. The first time I made this recipe I did not realize that it was set so low. So I believe that I set the oven to 325 degrees and it still took 1 1/2 hours for a 11″ x 15″ pan to cook. The second time I made it I made it into cupcakes and they took almost an hour(standard size).
