German Apple Cake

This recipe came about because I had purchased some green apples and promptly failed to utilize them. A week went by and I realized I still had them and if I didn't do something, they'd go bad. I do loathe wasting perfectly useful produce. After a very brief search online, I came up with this recipe. I applied a few minor yet crucial adjustments, made the cake and fed it to anybody who was willing. Apparently, that meant everybody I know.

Ingredients:

• 4 green apples, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil of choice
• 1 cup sugar (even less if using sweeter apples)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 cups flour 
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt

You will need: a large bowl, 9x13 pan, hand mixer, cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a bowl, mix eggs and the oil until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, vanilla, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and flour. Fold in the apples. Coat your pan with cooking spray and evenly lay out the cake batter. Bake for 50 minutes. Once cooled, cut into pieces and serve with coffee. Or serve warm with a side of vanilla ice cream.

Warning: This cake will vanish immediately if not supervised.

Enjoy!
