Fall is soon upon us.
The apple orchard is ready for picking.
The first apples of the harvest were the start of
one of my family's favorite desserts...
a fall tradition...
Apple Harvest Cake.
I thought I would share the recipe with you here....
It is marvelously delicious!!
I promise you won't be disappointed!
Apple Harvest Cake
4 cups peeled and diced apples
2 cups sugar
Mix together and let stand for 1 hour.
To apple/sugar mixture, add:
1 cup light olive oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Mix and add dry ingredients:
3 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. nutmeg
Mix and add:
1 cup chopped walnuts
Bake in greased and floured Bundt pan
350 degrees for 1 hour.
Frost with your favorite butter cream or cream cheese frosting.
(I had no cream cheese so I made some whipped cream and added
that to my butter cream frosting....light and yummy!)
You can bake this in muffin pans (adjust time) and leave
unfrosted for a delicious breakfast muffin.

Thanks for sharing this recipe, it sounds really delicious! I'll have to give it a try sometime...
That sounds wonderful. I'm having an upcoming class here in October and think I'll do the muffins. YUM!
We are picking apples taday! How thoughtful of you to share this with everyone. Mmmmm can't wait to try it. Thank you.
Sounds like the perfect recipe! Can't wait to try it ~ our apples are just beginning to ripen, also!
Bev. the Harvest Cake sounds so yummy. Sounds like something I should make when our apples are ready to be picked.
Do not let Gary see this recipe...he'll want me to start baking...and as you know, I'd much rather play in my trailers...yes "s"..got a 3rd one!
: > )
Thank you, this sounds wonderful. I hope to get apples soon at the Orchards.
You have to be very strong to stir that batter!! Very yummy
I went apple picking over the weekend and have been looking on the internet for a good apple cake. Looks like I found one .
I think I'll make one and share it with my neighbors!!! My recipe has no nutmeg and only 2 cups of flour..don't have to let it sit for 2 hours but that's not a bad idea
Growing up, this cake was one of my mother's specialties. Thanks for the memories. It looks so delicious!
