Fresh Apple Cake

Fresh Apple Cake

Peel and dice 3 apples. Put one cup brown sugar and one cup white sugar and 2 tablespoons bourbon (optional – I didn’t have any) over them. Let stand for at least two hours. The longer it stands, the moister the cake ends up.

Add:

• 2 eggs 1 cup Crisco oil
• 3 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla pinch of salt
• one-half tsp. each: cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice

stir well.

Add:

• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup raisins

stir well and pour into a greased and floured bundt pan and bake at 325 degrees for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

This cake is better and more moist if made a couple of days in advance. It also freezes very well.
