Apple Cake

This is my mother-in-law’s recipe. It’s delicious, and I’m not even a big apple fan! We live in apple country, so around harvest time I make this a lot! It’s great as a dessert with some vanilla ice cream, and doubles nicely as a breakfast coffee cake.

• Ready In: 1 hr 50 mins

1. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.
2. Beat eggs.
3. Mix together eggs, oil, and vanilla.
