This is the perfect fall cake! Warm, spicy, full of apples … it makes your whole house smell like cinnamon, and it tastes delicious!
Sift together the dry ingredients (first 7 ingredients). Beat the eggs, sugar and salad oil together in a separate bowl. Beat the dry and wet ingredients together with an electric mixer until blended.
Add the apples and nuts, folding in just until mixed.
Put in a greased tube pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. (Check it earlier; mine cooked in a little over an hour!)
Top with powdered sugar or a light glaze.
This is wonderful and makes the whole house smell like cinnamon!

made this last night and it was so delicious! i cut the recipe in half and made muffins to cut back on the baking time. it made exactly one dozen muffins! cooking time was probably somewhere around 28-30 min (not sure exactly b/c i kept adding a few min here and there). also substituted plain greek yogurt for half the oil – still was very moist and flavorful!!

I love this recipe. My mother used to make it and take with her for the doctors she was seeing. When she passed away they thought I should still bring it to them — -and I did for a long time!

This was the first time I ever made an apple cake and I was glad I did it with this recipe! I subsituted the eggs for eggbeaters and the salad oil with Safflower oil and applesauce. It was so moist and wonderful. I really enjoyed how much apple went into the cake. My little boys loved this cake too! Oh I did had a cream cheese frosting on top.

I bought a bag of Braeburns at the farm store yesterday, and sadly they were not as sweet as I’d hoped, so I sat down today and searchd this site for something to make with apples.
I am SO glad this was the recipe I chose! I absolutely LOVED it, and it got rave reviews from all of my family members. I will definitely make it again. DIVINE!!!
(I baked it for an hour — it probably needed about 5 minutes more, but I didn’t discover that until I cut into it.)

This was delicious, I love the spices and the bits of cooked apple! Mine was a smidge dry for my taste, even after being in the oven only an hour.
