Apple Cake

Apple Cake A delicious fall dessert. Serves 18.
We have a few apple trees on the ranch, and this year we had a hearty crop. I use them in preparing sweet fall treats, including pie’s, sauce and apple cake. The apple cake is one of my favorites, it’s easy, and oh so good. Because they freeze well, I like to make up a few extra’s to have on hand. Delicious for  breakfast, or serve with caramel sauce and fresh whipped cream, for an elegant dessert.

Note: I often split the flour using half whole wheat baking flour and half all purpose flour.

Ingredients:

3 cups flour
1 Tb.. baking soda
1 Tb. cinnamon
1½  tsp. nutmeg or allspice
½  tsp. salt
¼  cup butter, softened
3 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 cups applesauce
3 cups apples, peeled and finely chopped or flash processed
Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400*. Butter a 13”x9” cake pan or two, 9” round cake pans.
Mix all ingredients together with electric mixer, until batter is well incorporated.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes for round pans and 45 minutes for rectangular pan. Serve with a little caramel sauce and fresh whipped cream!
