Apple Cake
A simple, old-fashioned apple cake filled with warm cinnamon and nutmeg, tender apples, and crunchy walnuts. This is one of those recipes that feels like fall and tastes even better because it has been passed down through generations.
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, oil, and eggs. Stir until well combined.
- 3
Add the diced apples, chopped walnuts (and optional raisins) and stir to incorporate.
- 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
- 5
Add the dry ingredients to the apple mixture. Stir just until everything is combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.
- 6
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- 7
Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the cake is golden brown and set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- 8
Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
