Apple Nut Cake

By:K.P.
Ingredients:

sugar, soda, cinnamon, eggs, oil, salt, flour, vanilla, chopped nuts, sliced apples, powdered sugar

How many apples to buy…

Approximate number of medium size (2 ¼” – 2 ¾”) is:

1 pound:  2-3 apples   1 peck:  24-36 apples   1 bushel:  96-144 apples

A pound of fresh apples makes 3 to 4 half cup servings of applesauce. About two pounds of medium size apples are needed for a nine inch pie.

Apples ripen 5 to 10 times faster at room temperature than when refrigerated.
