Recipes - Apple Cake

 Of course, Apple Cake can be made year round but there is something most Fall about having it at this time of year.  So, here is my favourite Apple Cake recipe which can be turned vegan if you wish by changing the egg for a quarter cup of unsweetened plain applesauce and butter with a vegan margarine.  

4 tbsp butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

4 Granny Smith apples, peeled cored and diced

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 cup flour

whipped cream or cool whip

Preheat oven to 350F

Generously grease a square cake pan. In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg, apples, nuts and vanilla and stir well. Sift the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and stir into large bowl and mix well. It will look pretty dry but the apples will make it moist when baking. Pour into pan and bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm with whip cream.

Oh, and I just have to finish with this funny -
