Apple Cake

I can't say enough good things about this apple cake. We hosted a playgroup potluck and Tiffany contributed this and this is how Fall should taste.

Cake

1 ¼ cups canola oil
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 cups flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
2 t. vanilla
3 cups chopped, peeled apples
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Mix the first three ingredients together well. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well blended. Pour mixture in a well-greased Bundt pan. Start the cake in a cold oven that has been turned to 350 and bake for 45-60 minutes. The bake time will be dependent on the heat of your oven, of course, but also on the moisture content of the apples you use. Let the cake stand for at least 5 minutes before removing it from the pan.

Icing

1 stick butter
1 cup brown sugar
½ can sweetened condensed milk

Boil all the ingredients together and serve over the warm cake
