German Apple Cake - You'll Want the Recipe!

I made this recipe a couple of times last week. I took one to Church and I kept one at home and ate nearly the whole thing myself, I guess! ha. It works for breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner and I think you'll like it, too. :-)

I made one last night for the freezer, and tonight I've just made two recipes, divided into three pans (one 8 x 11 1/2" and two 9x9").

Here's the recipe:
(My alterations are in parentheses and
cooking hints will be within the instructions.)

German Apple Cake

2 eggs
1 cup oil (1/2 cup oil plus 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups sugar (1 1/3 cup sugar)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
4 cups sliced apples

In a 4-cup glass measuring cup, measure the oil, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. In a large bowl, measure the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and sugar; mix. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ones. The batter will be rather thick. Peel, core and slice your apples about 1/4" thick. (I have a little "peeler, slicer, corer" machine that leaves you with your apple shape that is sliced. I cut the sliced apple into thirds.)

The recipe calls for a well-greased, 9x13" pan. I use a well-greased, 8x11 1/2" pan, as it makes it "cakier." Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes (50 does it for me).

It is so moist! You may sprinkle the top of the cake with cinnamon/sugar mixture (as though you were making cinnamon toast) very lightly. This is certainly not necessary.

The house smells Wonderful as it's baking!

Enjoy!!
