I am late to the party again, but here’s an apple cake that I have made for years, an old southern favorite that I first sampled many years ago. I do not use the glaze. Tried it once and didn’t like it much that way. Cook in a bundt pan. Depending on your oven, I would check for done at 45 or 50 min. Enjoy

Apple Dapple Cake
1 1/2 cups oil
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups apples, peeled and chopped
1 cup pecans,chopped

glaze:

1 stick butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup milk

Mix oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Sift flour, salt, and baking soda; add to first mixture. Add apples and pecans. Pour into greased tube or bundt pan;bake at 350 for 1 hour. Leave in pan; poke holes in cake with toothpicks. To make glaze, mix ingredients in saucepan; boil for 3 min. Pour over cake;let sit for 2 hours.
This cake freezes well.

Thanks to the rest of you for posting more apple cake recipes. Each one is different, so I will have lots of different recipes to try.

I have been trying to have some kind of fruit filled muffin, cake, or bread in my house this year at all times as it seems everyone is heading different directions at different times in the morning and none of my family gets up early enough to eat breakfast before they leave. This way I can at least get a little bit of fruit in them as they head out the door in the mornings, since it is easy to take a piece with them as they head out the door.

I also have been trying out recipes for biscuits filled with bacon or sausage and cheese in them as another alternative, but those don’t seem to go over as well with the sweet tooth’s in my family. At least the fruit filled cakes, muffins, and breads they will grab with them on their way out the door, and it gives them a little something to tide them over until lunch.
