After School Apple Cake

I've had my eye on this recipe forever...finally got around to making it since I'm having some gals over for coffee and hanging out in the morning. I adapted it just a little to suit my tastes - you can see the original recipe here. I sampled a corner of it and it was really good. I'm hoping my kids like it because, while I wouldn't necessarily call it "snack food", it certainly would be a healthier dessert than some of the junk I feed them. It actually kind of reminds me of coffee cake...this one is a keeper.

After School Apple Cake

adapted from Family Fun

Ingredients
4-6 apples
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup applesauce
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13-by-9-by-2 inch baking pan. Peel, core and slice the apples, set them in a large bowl, and sprinkle with cinnamon.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend the oil, eggs and sugar. Add the baking powder, flour and wheat flour, and blend until combined.

Pour the batter over the apples, gently stirring until the apples are just coated. Pour this mix into the prepared baking pan, arranging the apples in an even layer, and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. When the cake is cool, cut it into small squares. Makes 18 pieces.
