Ingredients
  • 1- ½ cups of vegetable oil (or canola oil)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 cups peeled & chopped apples
  • 1 cup pecans or walnuts (chopped)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix the vegetable oil, eggs, sugars, and vanilla until well-combined. While the wet ingredients are mixing, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.
  2. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, a little at a time, mixing well between each batch. Be sure and scrape down all sides of the bowl. Do not over mix!
  3. Once your ingredients are combined, fold in your chopped apples and pecans using a rubber spatula. The cake batter will be very thick!
  4. Pour the cake batter into a well-greased tube pan** and smooth out the batter so it's even. Bake at 325 degree for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Be sure to check the cake at the 1 hour mark, as baking time may vary based on your oven. Enjoy!
Notes
**I grease my tube pan by rubbing vegetable shortening (such as Crisco) all around every side and surface inside the pan. Then, toss in some flour and shake around so that the flour sticks to all the edges. Shake off the excess flour, and your pan is ready for cake batter! I prefer this to non-stick sprays because it's full-proof and yields a prettier crust on all edges of the cake.
