Apple Cranberry Cake

This fresh apple and cranberry cake recipe is delicious with a caramel sauce, a cream cheese frosting, or simply dust it with powdered sugar. It's a moist and delicious cake, perfect for a snack or for any occasion.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large apples, peeled, cored, finely chopped (about 4 to 4 1/2 cups chopped apples)
  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Preparation:

Heat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or spray with baking spray with flour.

Combine chopped apples and cranberries in a bowl; toss with the lemon juice and set aside. In another bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside. In a mixing bowl with electric mixer, beat the eggs with oil, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and well blended. Slowly beat in the dry ingredients until moistened. Stir in apple-cranberry mixture and the chopped nuts. Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched with a finger.

Cut into squares to serve, topped with powdered sugar or caramel sauce, or frost the cooled cake with cream cheese frosting.

"Made this from the orig recipe and took to a Thanksgiving dinner. It was a huge hit! The batter was really really thick so I added 2-3 Tablespoons of water, but it was so so good. Made some cream cheese frosting for it. Will definitely make again and already people have wanted the recipe! I highly recommend it."
