Melodie's Apple Dapple Cake


This is sooooo good...Carol has made this one for our family before...and I usually don't like "fruity" desserts!!
UPDATE: Make this in a 9x13 pan. The icing can soak into the cake much better than a bundt pan.

Melodie's Apple Dapple Cake

1 1/2 c. vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 c. sugar
3 c. all purpose flour, sifted
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
2 t. vanilla
3 heaping cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
1 c. chopped pecans, optional

Beat oil, sugar and eggs. Mix flour, soda, cinnamon and salt. Add gradually. Add vanilla. Beat well. Stir in apples (and pecans). This batter is very thick. Bake in 9x13 pan, tube pan or bundt pan. 350 for 40-60 minutes.

Icing (glaze)
1 sick butter or margarine
1 c. light brown sugar
1/4. c. evaporated milk
1 T. vanilla

Mix ingredients and bring to a boil. cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over cake while it is still warm (punch holes in cake with toothpick to let icing soak into cake).
