I have put this in before. It’s a great cake that doesn’t need frosting, in my opinion. It has a lot of grated apple. When I first made it, I thought there wasn’t enough dough for all the apple, but it folded in fine and seemed to disappear when baked. Another apple cake came into my email and it sounded inviting. Snickerdoodle apple cobbler. But when I checked the ingredients, it called for apple pie filling and caramel on top. It seemed way too sweet, but if that interests you, let me know.

I’m guessing it’s called Hunter’s apple cake, because it will stay moist for the hunters. Pure guess!!

I googled apple cake recipes. They all have about the same ingredients, changing the amounts of flour or butter instead of oil.

Remember the Mock apple pie, made with Ritz crackers? I don’t, but many have shared with me they have, no apples, just the crackers, cinnamon and sugar!

INGREDIENTS:

2 eggs

2 c. sugar

½ c. vegetable oil

2 tsp vanilla

2 c. flour

2 tsp soda

2 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp salt

4 c. grated apples (about 4 apples)

1 c. raisins

1 c. chopped nuts.

DIRECTIONS:

Cream eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Add flour, soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix well and add apple, raisins and nuts.

Bake in a 9 x 12 pan at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.

MY NOTES:

Love those old fashioned directions!! Keep it simple. It goes without saying, test the center to make sure it is done.

ENJOY—share your favorite apple recipe.
