Mom's Apple Cake

 My mom made this recipe all the time when we were growing up.  She would send a large pan out with my dad and brother went they'd go on Boy Scout campouts.  An empty pan would be the only leftover!

Cream together:

1 ¾ cups sugar

1 cup oil

3 eggs

Add to the creamed mixture:

2 cups flour (1/2 cup at a time)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon (I use a bit more)

¼ teaspoon salt

4 apples peeled, cored, and sliced thinly

(or in small pieces)

OPTIONAL:

½ cup raisins or ½ cup nuts (or both)

Grease and flour a 9X13 inch pan and bake

at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes.

Use a toothpick to test for doneness.

**My mom’s recipe says to bake nothing else when baking this cake. 

**You can scoop the batter into cupcake papers and bake for 18-20 minutes.

**You can use ½ white and ½ wheat flour with no noticeable difference.
