Time 1h30m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups peeled and sliced apples, preferably granny smith or some other firm,not-too-sweet variety
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 cup chopped nuts, preferably walnuts
2 eggs, well beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples and sugar; mix well. (Actually I do this as I'm slicing them, so that the sugar keeps the apples from getting dark.)
  • Stir in oil, nuts, eggs and vanilla; mix well.
  • Combine dry ingredients and add to apple mixture. Blend well to ensure that you won't have little pockets of flour in the finished cake.
  • Spoon into a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour at 350° (325° if you use a pyrex pan). It's important not to overcook this cake, so check it at the lower baking time. The center should be just barely set and the edges still fairly soft.
  • Cool in pan before cutting.
  • Cut with a sharp knife so that you cut through the apples, rather than dragging half of a slice from an adjacent piece of cake.
  • You'll probably need something like a pancake turner to get the slices out, especially the first few.
  • This cake doesn't come out in nice, neat slices, but it tastes wonderful.
  • It can be served either warm or cold.
