4-5 c. coarsely chopped peeled apples
1 3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c. oil
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. sifted flour (I usually use 1 c. white and 1 c. whole wheat)
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Combine apples and sugar. In another bowl mix eggs, oil and vanilla and beat 1 minute. Add combined dry ingredients alternately with apple mixture. Stir in walnuts. Bake in greased and floured 9x13 pan at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until cake tests done with toothpick. Serve plain or frost with cream cheese frosting.

FROSTING:

8 oz. cream cheese at room temperature
8 oz. confectioners sugar
1 tbsp. cream or half and half

Mix all ingredients well. (Food processor works well.)
