It is a fall tradition with our family since I was a kid that my mom would make apple cake for us.

A few thoughts:

• Macintosh apples work the best but apples picked from a trip to the orchard are the most fun!


• Do not tightly wrap this cake because it is too moist so we always just placed a tea towel over it.


• Add the powder sugar at the last minute.


• My mom has experimented with ripe pears and walnuts instead of apples, so have fun with this recipe!

As you can see my mom's recipe card is well loved...

Pick or buy Macintosh apples or a similar apple so that they cook quickly and evenly...

Slice, peel and core about 2 cups of apples...place in bowl with 1 cup of granulated sugar on top for ten minutes...

Mix flour and dry spices together(1-1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of salt)...add beaten egg and oil together to apples...Add flour mixture all at once and mix thoroughly...

Pour into an 13x9x2 inch pan which is well greased...Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes...when cool sprinkle with confection sugar...

Yum!!!!!  Now you need coffee, tea or milk to wash down a nice big piece and a napkin to wipe away the powder sugar..! 

Do you have a favorite apple recipe or a family recipe that reminds you of fall?  Please share with me...
