Apple Cake

2 cups sugar
2/3 cup oil
2 eggs
2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups of peeled, coarsely chopped apples
1 ½ tsp. baking soda

Beat oil, sugar, vanilla and eggs together. In a separate bowl, mix flour with salt, soda and soda. Blend this with the first mixture. Stir in apples. This is a very thick batter. Spoon into a greased and floured 9 X 13 pan.

Topping
¾ c flour
½ c brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
Mix flour and brown sugar, cut in butter until you have pea-sized crumbs.

Sprinkle topping on the batter and bake at 325 for 1 ¼ hours.

NOTES: I've also used unpeeled apples. This recipe is a family favorite that I've been using for years. Yum!
