An Apple A Day



We have some really good neighbors.  My hubby had an accident back in November and badly damaged both of his shoulders.  We were in need of a new mattress and when we brought the mattress home earlier this month, one of our neighbors helped us get it off the truck and up the stairs.  He and his wife enjoy desserts as much as we do. Tonight I made an apple cake and took them half of it while it was still warm.  Of course I forgot to take a picture before it was cut.  Below is the piece that is left.  This cake would be extra good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Apple Cake

1 stick of butter
2 cups of sugar
2 eggs
2 cups of self-rising flour
1/ tsp. cinnamon
1-2 drops Cinnamon Essential oil
4 cups of peeled and diced apples
1 cup of chopped pecans, optional

Mix butter, sugar, essential oil, and eggs.  Add in flour, cinnamon, apples, and nuts.  Bake in a bundt pan for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes at 325 degrees.
