Ingredients

  • 4 cups peeled, cored, coarsely chopped apples
  • 1 cup bourbon
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. grated nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  • whipped cream, for serving

Directions

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine apples and bourbon. Let apples macerate in bourbon about 30 minutes, turning bag occasionally to mix.

  2. In a large bowl, beat together sugar, oil and eggs.

  3. Into a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and cloves. Stir into egg mixture. Add bourbon-apples and nuts and stir to combine.

  4. Grease a 9 × 13-inch baking pan. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Serve warm or cold, with whipped cream.
