- 1 1 1 cup chopped pecans or chopped walnuts
- 2 2 2 cups of peeled, cored, and grated fresh apples or fresh pears (approximately. 2 lg)
- 1 1 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 1 1/4 1/4 cups vegetable cooking oil (Wesson Oil) or you can also substitute
- 1 1/4 1 1/4 1/4 cups of applesauce in place of the cooking oil.

- Note: Do not substitute canola oil for the vegetable cooking. When you bake with canola oil, it comes out with a very strong undesirable flavor. Canola oil does not substitute well for cooking oil when used in baking recipes.
