Grandma's Apple Cake

I've made my grandma's recipe a couple times recently, and it always reminds me so much of her. Her cake was usually very short/flat and sweet - she made it often.

The recipe:

Mix 2 cups of shredded and peeled apples with 1/2 cup a sugar and let sit for a bit (you know how grandmas' instructions are...)
Then mix with one beaten egg and 1/4 cup of oil and 1 t vanilla
Then add the dry ingredients separately:
1 cup flour
dash of cinnamon
dash of salt
1 t baking soda

Mix dry ingredients into wet batter.
Oil the loaf pan and pour batter into pan, bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Enjoy:) We always do. The best apples are right from the orchard but we used sweet Gala apples this time. Rebecca, my 15-month old, "helped" me bake this morning by tasting the apple peel. Well, it's a start!

Enjoy September.
