This recipe is adapted from the cookbook Simply in Season, an excellent resource celebrating fresh, local foods.
5 cups thinly sliced, unpeeled apples
1-1/3 cups of sugar or sugar/Splenda blend
Combine and let stand while mixing other ingredients
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1-2 tsp vanilla (optional)
Combine in a separate bowl
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup nuts or raisins (optional, I have not added them)
Combine in a third bowl. Stir flour mixture into apples alternately with egg mixture.
Pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for 50-60 minutes
until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
I have topped this with cream cheese icing or a crumb topping. The picture above shows the crumb topping...1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar mixed together into coarse crumbs. Sprinkle on top before baking.

And WHY have you not added the raisins?????
Dear daughter, raisins probably wouldn't make this cake better. It is very fruity!! It would be like adding raisins to apple pie, OK, but not necessary.
This recipe looks fabulous not the least of which is that the apples do not need to be peeled! I'm signing up for this one this weekend.
