Ingredients
- 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (4 or 5 medium size apples)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup oil
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 t vanilla
- 1 t baking soda
- 2 t cinnamon
- 1/2 t salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (pack it down in the cup when you measure it)
- Frosting
- 8 ounce package softened cream cheese
- 2 t vanilla
- 1 T lemon juice
- 4 T melted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Directions
-
eheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9×13 cake pan.
-
Peel, core, and slice the apples as you would for a pie. Place the sliced apples on the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
-
In a medium sized bowl, whisk the eggs with the oil until they’re thick.
-
Then add the sugar and beat it in. Mix in the vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
-
Add the flour in one-cup increments, mixing after each cup.
-
Scrape down the bowl, give a final stir with a spoon, and then drop the batter over the apples in spoonfuls. (Don’t worry if it doesn’t completely cover the apples-the batter will spread out during baking)
-
Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a cold burner or a wire rack.
-
For the frosting, stir the vanilla into the cream cheese. Then add the lemon juice and the melted butter. Mix until it’s smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar in half-cup increments, checking the consistency after each addition. When the mixture is the consistency of frosting, stop adding sugar.
