1/2 c. shortening
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 c. raisins or chopped dates
1 c. chopped nuts
4 c. diced raw apples

My sister uses butter-flavored Crisco. I used unsalted butter blend (Land O' Lakes).

In large bowl cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs. Add dry ingredients; stir well. Stir in nuts, raisins, apples. Grease 9x13 pan. Bake at 325 degrees about 1 hour until tests done.

This cake is yummy and a great way to use up apples if you have a tree!
