Crites Family Stuff

Description

I remember that this was a favorite of Mattson McFarland when he was just a young boy.

Ingredients for 15 servings

• 3 eggs
• 1.75 cups sugar
• 2 cups sifted flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking powder
• .5 tsp salt
• 1 cup oil
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups thinly sliced apples
• .75 cup chopped walnuts

Old Fashioned Sauce:

• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• .5 tsp salt
• 2 cups cold water
• .25 tsp nutmeg
• 2 tbsp margarine
• 1 tsp lemon or vanilla extract

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.
