Last week Margaret requested a recipe for a fresh apple cake. We received three
receips that might be what she's looking for. Thanks to Janis K and Carol T for
responding!

>From Janis K:
The first recipe is baked in the oven, not the microwave, but it's so good I
begged Grandma for the recipe when I was in high school

The second one is for the microwave.

Grandma' Florence's Apple Bread
Two loaves

This apple bread freezes well, and so Grandma Florence always had this treat in
her freezer, ready to defrost for guests.

Preheat oven to 350F

4 cups diced, peeled fresh apples
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs beaten
3 cups unsifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup chopped raisins

Grease 2-9x5" bread pans.

Combine apples, sugar and the 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and let stand for 30-35
minutes, or until the juices run from the apples.  Combine oil, vanilla, eggs
and add to the apple mixture.

Combine the flour, baking powder, soda and 2 teaspoons cinnamon, salt and mix
well into the apple mixture.  Stir in the raisins and chopped pecans.  Pour
into the prepared bread pans.  Bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes
out clean.
