Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c cored and chopped unpeeled apples
1 c sugar
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c chopped pecans
1/2 c flaked coconut

Steps:

  • 1. Mix apples and sugar, let stand for about 40 minutes. I used Jonathan apples.
  • 2. Stir apples occasionally to make a syrup.
  • 3. Sift flour, soda and salt together and add to apples, stirring to mix with spatula.
  • 4. Add remaining ingredients and stir with spatula to mix. Bake in a greased and floured 9x9x2-inch pan.
  • 5. Bake at 325° for 35 to 40 minutes.
  • 6. Frost with caramel frosting.
  • 7. I usually double the recipe and place in a 9x13-inch pan. Adjust cooking time.
  • 8. Very moist cake and easy to make...especially since you don't have to peel the apples.
