Fresh Apple Cake is one of my family's very favorite desserts. It comes together really easy, you don't even need a mixer! Sweet apples and warm cinnamon will fill your house with the best of autumn baking!
Add apples to a large bowl with sugar, vegetable oil, pecans, eggs and vanilla.
Mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, add flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Whisk together.
Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
Spray a 13" x 9" or 10" springform cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour in cake batter and bake for fifty minutes to one hour. A toothpick inserted should come out clean when it's done.
Garnish with powdered sugar if desired. Great warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Cover and refrigerate leftovers for 2-3 days. Cake can be wrapped in a double layer of plastic wrap and foil or placed in a freezer bag and frozen for up to 1 year.
