GRANDMA’S FRESH APPLE CAKE

 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• (1) egg
• ¼ cup of vegetable oil
• 2 cups peeled and chopped apple
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• ½ cup raisins

Directions:

Preheat the oven about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
In a bowl, sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Mix sugar, egg, and oil in another bowl. Stir in the flour mixture just until combined; fold in apple, walnuts, and raisins.
In the preheated oven, bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about an hour.

Notes:

Instead of raisins, you can use dates and any sort of chopped nut you want.
The trick to a great apple cake is to use a variety of apples for a combination of flavors and textures: sweet, sour, crisp, and gentle. To get the best bang for your apple cake dollar, try combining Honeycrisp and Granny Smith if you prefer a more tart cake, or go with Gala or Fuji for a sweeter experience.
Apple Cake remains fresh for 12 months and can be thaw and serve at room temperature.
