Apple coffee cake

Makes 20 servings.

Ingredients

5 cups tart apples, cored, peeled, chopped

1 cup sugar

1 cup dark raisins

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 egg, beaten

2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly oil a 13-by-9-by-2-inch pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine apples with sugar, raisins and pecans; mix well.
Let stand 30 minutes.
Stir in oil, vanilla and egg.
Sift together flour, soda and cinnamon. Stir into apple mixture about 1/3 at a time—just enough to moisten dry ingredients.
Turn batter into pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes. Cool cake slightly before serving.
