Steps

1. Beat eggs, add sugar and beat. Sift flour and measure two cups into a mixing bowl. Add cinnamon, baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt and mix. Add the beaten eggs and sugar to the flour mixture. Add the oil and vanilla. Fold in the thinly sliced apples and chopped walnuts. Bake at 350F for 40 - 45 minutes. Cut into squares. Serve with the Old Fashioned Sauce. It freezes well.
2. To make the Old Fashioned Sauce, mix 1 cup sugar and cornstarch with 1/2 tsp salt in a sauce pan. Stir until cornstarch is blended. Add cold water graduallly and stir well. Place pan on the stove and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add nutmeg, margarine and flavoring. Serve warm. This recipe makes enough for 9 servings, so you might want to double it to serve with the apple squares.
