Preparation

Step 1

With a mixer, mix the sugar, flour, oil, eggs one at a time, and the peeled graded apples. Mix in the salt, cinnamon, vanilla and the soda dissolved in water. Fold in 1 cup chopped pecans. Pour into a greased and floured 9X13 baking dish. Bake 350 degrees 40 to 50 minutes. While cake is still hot, pierce the cake gently with a fork and pour the cooled glaze over the cake.

Glaze:

1 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar
Zest of 1 orange

Boil the above mixture until the sugar is dissolved. Cool and pour over hot cake. The longer this cake sits the more moist it is. We like to serve it with a bit of whipped cream or a dip of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream.
