1 1/2 c Wesson oil
2 c Sugar
2 Whole eggs
3 c Fresh apples; chopped
1 c Pecans; chopped (optional)
1/2 cn Flaked coconut (optional)
1 ts Soda
1 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Salt
3 c Sifted flour
2 ts Vanilla
Mix oil and sugar; add eggs and beat. Add apples and mix well. Sift flour
with soda, cinnamon and salt. Add to the apple mixture. Then add vanilla,
pecans and coconut. Pour batter into a loaf pan; bake at 300 degrees for 1
hour and 20 minutes. This is a nice Christmas cake — takes the place of
fruit cake — not as rich.
Variations; Add 1 cup chopped dates. A tube pan may be used.
