Ingredients
Units
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup canola oil
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3 eggs
- 3 cups Golden Delicious or Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- turbinado sugar, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a second bowl, mix together sugar, oil and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time and stir to combine. Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined. Fold in apples and walnuts (the batter will be thick).
- Grease two loaf pans and spread half of the batter into each pan. Sprinkle the tops of each loaf with a little sugar and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Notes
- This moist, hearty cake also works really well poured into muffin cups.
- If you prefer to serve it as a healthy breakfast or brunch cake instead of dessert, replace one cup of flour with whole wheat flour and fold 1/4 cup finely ground flax seeds into the batter along with the apples and walnuts.
