Cake

• 1 ¼ cup oil
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup chopped nuts
• 3 cup chopped & peeled apples
• 3 cups flour
• 1 ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg

Topping

• 1/3 cup sugar.   I put a little less
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ cup nuts chopped

Blend oil. Sugar & eggs: add vanilla, nuts & apples.

Stir in remaining. Pour into greased & floured 9x13 pan.   Sprinkle with topping.

Bake @350 for 35-50 min.  

Served with whipped cream.

• 2 cups raisins
• 1/2 cup margarine
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
• 1 tsp. nutmeg
• 1 cup walnuts

Put raisins in saucepan, cover with water, bring to boil and cook for 10-12 minutes. Drain, cover and set aside.

Cream margarine, sugar and eggs together. Sift dry ingredients together and add to the creamed mixture. Fold in raisins and walnuts. Batter will be very thick. Spread into a 9x13x2 pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until test done. Cut into squares while warm.

I sprinkle sugar over bars when they come out of the oven. I do not use walnuts.

(from Wally’s Mother years ago)

• Make your own or 1 pkg. gingerbread mix
• 1/2 cup brown sugar-packed
• 2 tblsp. flour
• 2 tblsp. melted butter
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• dash of cinnamon

Prepare gingerbread mix as directed--pour into 9" square pan.  Mix the brown sugar, flour, melted butter, pecans and cinnamon well -- and sprinkle over the batter.  Bake as pkg. directs.  Could take a bit longer.  Serve (best slightly warm) with whipped cream--1/2 pt. heavy cream or whipping cream, 1 1/2 tblsp. sugar (+/-), 3/4 tsp. vanilla--beat the cream-- gradually add the sugar and when almost whipped add the vanilla and blend.  I usually add a tad of unflavored gelatin--keeps the consistency or use prepared!!
