Apple Picking

Goosey's first field trip was yesterday.  They went apple picking!

This was her first time riding a school bus.

Harvesting

Do you want one?

She loves apples.

With her two girlfriends.

They even got to go on a hayride!

A happy girl, getting on the bus to return to the school.

I think an apple picking outing deserves a delicious family recipe:

Fresh Apple Cake

4 cups apples, diced (peeled or unpeeled)

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 cup chopped nuts, optional (walnuts are good)

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 cups flour

Mix apples and sugar.  Let stand.  Mix remaining dry ingredients, add wet ingredients then apple mixture.  Pour into greased, floured pan.  Bake @ 350 degrees for 1 hour.
