Apple Coffee Cake

[donna]

A wonderful coffee cake for Fall is this one from my late aunt. It is great to have for breakfast or mid morning snack with coffee and friends. It is old recipe she adapted.

Apple Coffee Cake

2 cups apples, chopped
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cup sifted flour
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon soda
1 egg

Mix the tablespoon sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over apples and set aside. Mix the remaining ingredients. Add apples. Bake in a greased cake pan or iron skillet. She always used an iron skillet. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

That looks good and I believe even I could make it (I'm not a baker). I haven't had an iron skillet for at least thirty years so will have to go with a cake pan; got that. Hey, and I've got some real Georgia pecans just now too; might be just the thing.

I always prefer pecans for some reason since I started using them. I even use them in my grandmother's walnut raisin bread, which I guess I should rename pecan raisin bread

I love a good coffee cake. I am learning how, and when to substitute sugar alternates in my baking.
