One of my favorite cooking ingredients is apples. I love to made fresh apple sauce with pork, incorporate them into muffins, make pies, and fresh cookies. Again, I'm sharing a favorite recipe. It is a rather dense but delicious cake that goes well about mid afternoon between lunchtime and the start of dinner preparation. You know, the time you need to regroup and reenergize? A cup of coffee wouldn't go amiss, either!
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1½ cups vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups thinly sliced apples
1 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat the oven to 375̊.
In a large bowl, mix first seven ingredients and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in apples and walnuts until just blended.
Spread batter evenly in lightly greased 13" by 9" baking pan. Bake 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Place cake on cooling rack.
When barely warm, drizzle lemon icing over it. Combine one cup of powder sugar and enough lemon juice to make a thin glaze.
