This is a recipe from the McKinley side of the family. My grandma was so sweet and ended up cooking for a crowd quite often. This was a cake that she enjoyed taking to church events, usually made with freshly shelled pecans from the tree in her backyard.
Velda's German Apple Cake
1 1/2 C. Wesson oil
2 C. sugar
3/4 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
1 1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
1 t. vanilla
3 eggs
3 C. flour
4 C. cubed apples (fresh)
1 C. pecans
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a cake pan (the original recipe does not specify type of pan, but I am guessing a bundt pan because of the long baking time). Mix oil, sugar, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and eggs in bowl with beaters on medium for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 of flour on low speed. Add rest of flour using spoon to mix. Add apples and pecans last. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until set and toothpick comes out clean.
I've never had this before. Melanie makes it every once in awhile, but Grayson always saves a piece for grandpa Cravens but not me. Now I'm gonna make him bake it for me =D
