Granny Smith Apple Cake Recipe
One of my most favourite apple cakes. It's great with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side of the plate.

  • 3/4 cups vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup apple sauce
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Note: I have also added almond extract and if you choose to do this then reduce the amount to 1 tsp. as almond extract tends to be stronger in flavour.
