Ingredients

• 5 C tart apples, cored, peeled, and chopped
• 1 C sugar
• 1 C dark raisins
• ½ C pecans, chopped
• ¼ C vegetable oil
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2½ C sifted all-purpose flour
• 1½ tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F. Lightly oil a 13×9×2-inch pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine apples with sugar, raisins, and pecans; mix well. Let stand for 30 minutes.
3. Stir in oil, vanilla, and egg. Sift together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon; stir into apple mixture about 1/3 at a time, stirring just enough to moisten dry ingredients.
4. Turn batter into pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
5. Cool cake slightly before serving.
