Apple Nut Cake Recipe
3 cups flour
1 1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups apples, peeled and chopped
1 cup pecans, almond slivers, or walnut pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
To Make: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, sugars, cinnamon, salt and baking soda) until thoroughly combined.Mix together the wet ingredients (eggs, oil and vanilla) and stir into the dry ingredients. Stir to mix ingredients together. Fold in apples and nuts. The batter will be fairly stiff. Add 1/4 cup water if too stiff. Spread the batter into a bundt pan or a 9-inch-by-11-inch-by-2-inch baking dish. Bake 60 to 70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
