Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cups Wesson oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
- 3 generous cups apples, coarsely chopped, fresh/unpeeled and uncooked
- Bundt or tube pan & wax paper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Wesson oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
- Sift together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing by hand until a stiff dough forms.
- Fold in the walnuts and apples. The final batter will be thick and chunky.
- Line the bottom of your tube pan with wax paper. Pour the batter into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake on the center rack for one hour, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Use the wax paper edges to lift the cake from the pan once cooled.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smiths for best texture.
- Ensure baking soda is fresh for proper texture.
- Let ingredients sit at room temperature for an even blend.
