Apple Cake

Holiday dessert, compliments of one of my colleagues in the Winston-Salem Symphony...I am so terrible, I can't remember if it was Kay or Betty that gave it to me. Moist, simple, and delicious.

1 cup oil

2 cups sugar

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons cinnamon

2 teaspoons vanilla

3 cups raw, peeled and chopped apples

1 cup chopped pecans

Beat eggs, add sugar and oil. Beat well. Mix dry ingredients and add to egg mixture. Add vanilla. Fold in apples and nuts. Bake in greased and floured 9 X 13 inch pan in 350 oven for 45 minutes.

GLAZE

1 stick butter

1 cup brown sugar
