Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups sugar, divided
• 4 cups diced apples, i prefer granny smith, but you can use what is on hand. it usually takes about 3 medium
• 1 cup white flour
• 1 cup wheat flour
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Recipe

• 1 pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. grease or spray and flour your pan. i either use a 9x13 or a bundt pan.
• 2 core and chop the apples first so that you can put the sugar on them to extract part of the juice from the apples. sprinkle 1 c sugar over the apples in a 4 c measuring cup if you have one, otherwise just in a bowl.
• 3 cream the butter, 3/4 c sugar and eggs till smooth. add remaining ingredients, except apples. mix until smooth. will be very stiff. add apples. if not much juice has formed, like less than 1/4 cup, add about 1/4 cup water to rinse out the bowl or measuring cup. i live in the rockies so it is really arid here.
• 4 spread in pan to fill evenly.
• 5 bake for 30- 40 minutes. check middle of pan to see if done. if pick or spagetti comes out clean, then it is done. cool slightly and serve. can serve with a sauce, (, vanilla, caramel, and lemon are good), ice cream, or whipped cream. or in your hand. nuts are a favorite addition of many people, but we don't like them in our family so i never add them.
