2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. salad oil
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda (not powder)
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt

Mix apples with sugar and set aside while you do the rest. Mix eggs and salad oil together and heat a bit. Add vanilla to this. Sift together the dry ingredients. Now add the egg mixture to apple-sugar; mix well. Next add the dry ingredients, mixing well. Fold in nuts.

Put all in greased, floured 9 x 13 inch flat baking dish and bake at 325 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Serve warm or cool in dish. It's great plain, topped with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or hard sauce. Freezes well.
