Harvest Cake 🍎

I’m posting two recipes during the holidays because I have so many saved! LOL! Just be glad I didn’t save the recipe for Flaming Hot Cheetos Turkey. Yes, I found that. Yes, it’s scary. LOL!

Harvest Cake :apple:

Active Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 3 hrs 30 mins
Servings: 12

Ingredients:

Cake:

4 cups diced fresh apples

2 cups sugar

3 cups flour

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. nutmeg

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. baking soda

2 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, plus more for garnish

White Icing:

2/3 cup powdered sugar

1 to 2 tablespoons milk

1/2 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

Mix apples and sugar together in a bowl; let stand for 1 hour. Sift flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda into a medium bowl. In another bowl, beat eggs, oil, and vanilla together.

Ooh, yummy! That sounds very good! I think we’re doing the Pecan pie and pecan scone route this week, but I’ll file this one away for another time! Thank you.

I aspire to be half as creative as whoever came up with the Cheeto Turkey recipe :rofl:

You’re welcome! This just sounded like a great alternative to pumpkin pie.

Great! Let us know how it turns out!

I just can’t help but wonder, who hurt them so much that they would do that to a poor turkey?

You’re welcome!
