Ruthie’s Apple Cake

This cake is so special. And the sauce just takes it right over the top! It’s made in a bundt pan and it looks impressive - the apples add such a great flavor! This is a perfect recipe for this time year.

Cake Ingredients

Cream together the following:

• 2 cups sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1-1/2 cup vegetable oil

Then add the following to the mixture

• 3 cups diced apples

• 2 teaspoons vanilla

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Sift together:

• 3 cups flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Cake Directions

• Add flour to creamed mixture in 3 steps

• Batter will be thick

• Pour into greased tube pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour & 15 minutes

• Leave in pan until completely cool

• You can also make this in a 13x9 and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. (I will say, I totally prefer the Bundt pan.)

Sauce Ingredients:

• 1 cup milk

• 1/2 c. butter or margarine

• 2 T. flour (heaping)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 1 cup sugar

Sauce Directions

• Combine the flour and sugar

• Mix all ingredients together and cook until thickened

• This sauce will get thicker and the amount of flour will determine the thickness

• Serve this sauce warm over cake.

  **Note- I got this recipe from my cooking pals Ruthie and Connie. Connie always doubles the batch of sauce because her husband loves it so much. Good idea!
