Fresh Apple Cake!

Here is a recipe for Fresh Apple Cake with Rum sauce that is delicious and easy to make!

3 cups raw apples (Granny Smith is a good choice: dice them up)
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour
2-1/2 tsps. Baking soda
1 cup chopped nuts (I use walnuts)
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsps. vanilla

Stir sugar into raw apples and let mixture sit for 20 minutes. Combine with remaining ingredients and bake into a well-greased angel food cake pan at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Let cool before removing from pan. Don't use a Bundt pan as it will be hard to remove.

Rum Sauce

1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 stick butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. rum extract ( or to taste)

Boil slowly for 5 minutes. Serve warm over cake.
