My sister-in-law Lisa makes this wonderful cake for my father-in-law's birthday EVERY year...It is a wonderful moist cake...Try it, I think it will become one of your family favorites too

Lisa's Apple Cake

4 cups peeled, cored and diced Rome apples
2 cups sugar
1 cup chopped nuts (she uses pecans, but walnuts would work too)
Mix the above ingredients together and let stand for at least 1 hour or overnight. Stir often. (you will find this makes a "syrup" which is all of the liquid used in the recipe)

3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup of vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs, beaten

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Add the dry ingredients to the apple mixture. Then add the oil, vanilla and eggs. Mix BY HAND until combined. Pour into a greased and floured bundt pan, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. This cake really needs no frosting, but if you want you can spinkle the top with powdered sugar.
