This is an easy, foolproof Fall apple cake recipe baked with chunks of apples. It’s delicious on its own or can be topped with vanilla frosting.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 apples, washed and cut into small cubes
• 3 tablespoons white sugar

• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk

PREPARATION

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
2. Grease the baking pan(s) of your choice. You can use two loaf pans or two 8″ round pans or one 13″ x 9″ baking dish.

6. Pour half of the cake mixture into the bottom of the pan(s). Top with the apple and oat mixture. Top with the remaining cake mixture.
7. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
