Old-Time Apple Cake

Submitted by pansies

"This is a recipe I clipped from a Woman's Day magazine way back in 1980. I didn't try it for many years but when reviewing my files in search of low fat recipes for a family member I came across this one. Not a fancy cake but homey and good! I have also make this with fresh peaches with good results."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 236.59 ml sugar
• 3 medium apples, peeled and diced
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 236.59 ml flour
• 4.92 ml baking soda
• 4.92 ml cinnamon
• 59.16 ml wheat germ, divided

directions

1. You should have about 2 cups diced apples. Mix apples and sugar together in a large bowl. Let stand for about 30 minutes to draw the juice.
2. Stir in egg, flour, soda, cinnamon and 3 tbsp of the wheat germ until well blended.
3. Turn into a greased 8 inch square baking pan. Sprinkle remaining wheat germ over the top.
4. Bake at 375 F for 30 minutes or until pick inserted int the centre comes out clean.
5. Cool on rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 8 or 9 servings depending on how you cut them. Good as it is but vanilla yogurt makes a nice low fat topping if you must have a topping.

This recipe is exactly what the poster claims, nothing fancy, but a homey and good snack cake. I especially appreciated the fact that this recipe does not have any added oils or fat. Thank you Pansies for sharing the recipe.
