APPLE COFFEE CAKE

Apples and raisins keep this cake moist — which means less oil and more health.
Yield: 20 servings

5 C tart apples, cored, peeled, chopped
1 C sugar
1 C dark raisins
1/2 C pecans, chopped
1/4 C vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 egg, beaten
2 C all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F.

2. Lightly oil 13- by 9- by 2-inch pan.

3. In large mixing bowl, combine apples with sugar, raisins, and pecans. Mix well and let stand for 30 minutes.

4. Stir in oil, vanilla, and egg. Sift together flour, soda, and cinnamon, and stir into apple mixture about a third at a time—just enough to moisten dry ingredients.

5. Turn batter into pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes. Cool cake slightly before serving.
