Apple Cake in a 9"X13" baking dish

I bought some Mutsu Apples from a market in Kansas. It has an Apple Orchard and grows this variety of Apple. I was not familiar with it .

It was introduced in Japan in 1930.

It's a versatile dual-purpose apple, sharp but still sweet enough to eat fresh.

It holds it's shape while cooking.

It's green-yellow in color.

This is an original recipe adapted from many other Apple Cake recipes that I have in my collection.

I like apple recipes that are easy and fairly quick to create, this one is.

To make this cake you need a stand mixer with a paddle attachment .

1 - 9"X13" baking dish

Pan Release Mix to grease the dish, it can be found on my blog under Tips, Hints and More. ( you could use butter, but I highly recommend that you keep a jar of Pan Release in the refrigerator if you bake often. It keeps for many months.

Apple Cake:

3 eggs

3 C sugar

1 1/2 C vegetable oil

2 tsp vanilla

3 C flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

2 large apples, peeled and chopped.

1 C whole pecans

Grease the pan with Pan Release Mix

In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment:

Beat:

eggs

sugar

vegetable oil

Mix well until creamy smooth

Add vanilla and just mix to combine.

Add remaining ingredients and mix just until well combined. ( I pre-mixed the dry ingredients in a large bowl and added to the mixture.

I added the pecans last.

Mixed just until combined.

The batter will be thick.

Spread the batter evenly in the dish.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Enjoy!

Peace in the Kitchen!
