Fresh Apple Cake

Apples are so good this time of year and I'm tired of the heavy, sugary desserts from the holidays. Try a fresh apple cake for an easy, delicious dessert that will give you that warm and snuggly feeling. I bake mine in an iron skillet!


2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups oil
3 eggs
2 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
3 cups apples cut fine
1 cup chopped pecans (optional, but I love them! You can use any nut you like.)

Mix sugar and oil until creamy. Add beaten eggs. Sift flour and dry ingredients
together. Add nuts and apples last. Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour. Can use a bundt pan, but I use an iron skillet
