One of my most favourite apple cakes. It's great with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side of the plate. Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 cups white sugar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1-1/2 tsp. cinnamon |
3/4 cups vegetable oil |
1/2 cup apple sauce |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
note: i have also added almond extract and if you choose to do this then reduce the amount to 1 tsp. as almond extract tends to be stronger in flavour. |
3 eggs, beaten |
3-1/2 cups granny smith apples, chopped |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
glaze |
1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup milk |
1/2 cup butter |
