Vanilla-Cinnamon Apple Cake
• 3 eggs
• ¾ sugar
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• ¾ cup cake meal
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ¼ tsp salt
• 5 peeled and cored Granny Smith Apples
Apple Topping:
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (OPTIONAL)
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat apples with topping as you slice them in a bowl – You can cut the apples in slices or in cubes – your choice as both work well. I like cubes as you get apple in almost every bite. Set aside coated apple mixture.
Beat eggs, sugar, vanilla and oil until smooth – Add cake meal, salt and baking soda and mix well. Combine apple mixture and batter, folding gently. Pour apple-batter mixture into a greased 8 or 9” sq pan (you can double the recipe and use a 9x13” pan or make into individual muffins using muffin tins.) Bake in oven for roughly 1 ½ hrs until a fork comes out smooth. Let cool and serve.
