APPLE CAKE!!

This is my favorite dessert! We had a bunch of apples because we went to Sky Top Orchard in Flat Rock, NC. I knew I would make this, and had the time on Sunday. This recipe comes from my mother-in-law and she knows how much I love it. She spoiled me by making it for me many times! The small picture shows it my favorite way, with a scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla. The bottom shows it in the pan after it is baked. It makes a lot. I also like to indulge in it for breakfast on occasion...

Mix:

2 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

1 2/3 cups sugar

Add:

2 cups sifted flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp cloves, ground

1 cup chopped pecans

2 cups chopped apples (about 4-if it's a little over, just add them)

1 tsp vanilla

Bake in a 9 x 13 pan at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Don't open oven until done.

This is the most amazing dessert and it's very easy to make! I cut it up like brownie and share because it doesn't keep for many days. It's so moist that it gets soggy after a few days, so I bake and then give a bunch away.
