Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced and peeled apple (I used Honey Crisps, but you could easily use Granny Smith or Gala apples)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cloves
Instructions
- To prepare the apples, peel and core about 4 apples. Slice them into about 1/4 inch thick slices and place them into a large bowl. Pour the sugar over the apples and give them a quick toss with your hands and then add the lemon juice. Let the apples and the sugar sit for about 30-45 minutes. This process will soften the apples and dissolve the sugar.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the oil, eggs and vanilla to the apple mixture and stir together with a spoon.
- Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and cloves into the apple mixture. Combine with a spoon carefully until the dry mixture is just incorporated.
- Spray a 9x9 or 9x13 baking dish with baking spray and line with parchment paper. Transfer the batter into the baking dish and bake in a preheated oven for 50-55 minutes for a 9x9 or 45-50 minutes for a 9x13, or until a knife can be inserted in the center and comes out clean.
- Serve with freshly whipped cream.
