• 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 13x9x2 inch baking pan. In large mixing bowl, combine apples with sugar, raisins, and nuts. Mix well and let stand for 30 minutes.

Stir in oil, vanilla and egg. Sift together flour, soda and cinnamon, and stir into apple mixture about a third at a time, just enough to moisten dry ingredients. Turn batter into prepared pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes. Cool cake slightly before serving.

Note: Apple and raisins keep this cake moist, which means less oil used.
