Apple Cake

Directions

   Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. 2
   Peel and core the apples. Slice them into about 1/4 inch thick slices and place them into a large bowl. Pour the sugar over the apples and give them a quick toss with your hands and then add the lemon juice. Let the apples and the sugar hang out for about 30-45 minutes. This process with soften the apples and the sugar will become liquid.

   Add the vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla to the apple mixture and stir together with a spoon.

   In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. Mix together until the baking soda and spices are evenly distributed through the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and combine with a spoon carefully until the dry mixture is just incorporated.
5. 5
   Spray a 9x9 baking dish with baking spray. Transfer the batter into the baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a knife can be inserted in the center and comes out clean.

   Serve with freshly whipped cream.
