Fresh Apple Cake

Ingredients:

3 - cups all purpose flour
2 - cups sugar
3 - eggs
3 - cups apples, peeled and chopped
1 - cup canola oil
2/3 - cup apple juice or milk
1 - teaspoon baking soda
2 - teaspoon vanilla
2 - teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 - teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 - teaspoon salt
1 - cup pecans, halves, separated

Icing Recipe:
2 - cups powdered sugar
2 - tablespoons milk
1 - teaspoons vanilla extract

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees; grease and flour a Bundt pan. In a large bowl, toss apples with flour to coat.
2. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. If using nuts break the pecan halves into pieces and add to the batter {save about 10 pecan halves for garnish }.
3. Pour the mixture into prepared pan; make sure to spread the mixture evenly. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
4. Let cake cool in pan 15 minutes before removing to serving plate. When cake is completely cool drizzle with icing and garnish with pecan halves.
5. To prepare icing place place powdered sugar, vanilla and milk in a bowl and mix together until smooth. If the glaze is to thick add milk one teaspoon at a time until the mixture reaches desired consistency.

If you don't have a Bundt pan you can use two loaf pans.
