My aunt Mary was just visiting from Georgia and she made this deeeeeeeeelicious cake. I'm not sure why it's called a "raw apple cake" but I don't care because it's great.

The recipe is a little odd but the result is a moist and tasty cake. I actually didn't have all of the right ingredients so I changed it a little and it was a big hit. I served it for dessert with a bit of unsweetened whipped cream (because the cake is pretty sweet) and then ate the rest for breakfast. Yum!




Raw Apple Cake

Ingredients:

• about 5 cups apples
• 1 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 beaten eggs
• 1/4 cup oil + 1/2 cup melted crisco OR 3/4 cup oil
• 2 tsp vanilla

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare a 9x13 pan with baking spray.
• Peel and roughly chop the apples, into approximately 1/2 inch squares. They don't all have to be the same size and some can be kind of big. Put them in a bowl.
• Pour the sugar, cinnamon, and salt over the apples and mix well.
• Sift the flour and baking soda over the mixture and mix well.
• Beat the eggs, oil, and vanilla together. Add to the apple mixture and mix just until blended.
• Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 45 minutes, just until a knife comes out clean.
