Apple Cake Recipe

I've posted this recipe before for my Apple Cake but now I'm going to do it with step by step picture instructions! So you have to pin it!

First-gather your ingredients!

You'll need: 4 cups diced apples, 2 cups sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, 2 tsp vanilla, 1 cup nuts, 2 cups flour, a dash of salt and 2 tsp cinnamon.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees or 325 degrees if you are using a pyrex pan.

Now grease your pan. I'm a shortening user. Then flour well. You're pan should be the 9x13 size pan, though this recipe seems to hold up for 9" rounds (2) and would for squares too, I assume. I've never used it for cupcakes though...maybe in the future.

Now chop your apples in uniform bits. I figure about 1 apple=1 cup if you nibble on them as you go. I was really conservative because these apples had bruises and got away with three apples=a short 4 cups.

This is the sad face of your dog when you don't give them apple slices. :(

Add your two cups of flour and mix well with the apples. It prevents them from browning. [EDIT-this should be sugar. 7/4/13.]

Add your two large eggs or whatever is the equivalent. I used 3 medium (?) eggs because my boss gave me like 3 dozen!

Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil.

Add two tsp vanilla. Action shot!

Add 1 cup walnuts.

Mix well.

Add 2 cups flour, a dash of salt and 2 tsp cinnamon.

Mix well.

Mix some more. At this point, you can add a little bit extra oil if it seems too dry. It gets wetter pretty fast though.

Spoon/pour into the prepared pan and into the oven for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Yum!

2 eggs (well beaten)
½ cup oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
