Apple Dapple Cake

Fall-time calls for anything and everything apple. For my family's annual "fall gathering", I made an Apple Dapple Cake. This recipe comes from the kitchen of our dear family friend, Mrs. Charlotte who went home to Jesus this past summer. I will always think of her when I make this cake.

Ingredients:

Cake

3 c flour
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
1.5 c oil
2 c sugar
3 eggs
2 t vanilla
1 t cinnamon
1 c pecans, chopped
3 c apples, peeled & chopped

Icing

1 c brown sugar
1 stick butter (1/2 c)
1/4 c evaporated milk (5oz can)

Mix the first eight ingredients together. Add in pecans and apples. Pour the batter into a greased bunt pan. Bake at 350º for 35-45 minutes or until the cake has set. Let the cake cool completely.

For the icing, melt the three ingredients and boil for 2 1/2 minutes or until the mixture has thickened. When the icing has set, pour it over the cake and enjoy!
