Apple Projects #6 & #7

Another (and probably final for this year) batch of Macoun applesauce was made. This one made six quart  containers with a tiny bit left over. I already gave one of the containers away! 

The next project was to bake apple cakes. I used two 8 inch pans because I don't have 9 inch pans, and only baked it for 50 minutes. Instead of the suggested apple varieties, I used 3 large Cortlands instead of 6 medium apples.

  RECIPE

One Bowl Apple Cake -

This cake is so moist and rich and tasty!

Ingredients: 

2 eggs

1 3/4 cups sugar 

2 heaping teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 cup oil 

6 medium Gala or Fuji or Honey Crisp apples or whatever tasty apple available.

2 cups flour 

2 teaspoons baking soda

Directions: Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, cinnamon and oil. Peel and slice the apples and add to mixture in bowl (coating as you go to keep apples from turning brown.) Mix together the baking soda and flour and add to the ingredients in the bowl. Mix well (best with a fork) until all of the flour is absorbed by the wet ingredients. Pour mixture into one greased 9x13 or two 9″ round pans. Bake for approximately 55 minutes.
