This is a recipe I clipped from a Woman's Day magazine way back in 1980. I didn't try it for many years but when reviewing my files in search of low fat recipes for a family member I came across this one. Not a fancy cake but homey and good! I have also make this with fresh peaches with good results.

Ingredients

8 serv.
  • sugar1 cup
  • medium apples, peeled and diced3
  • egg, slightly beaten1
  • flour1 cup
  • baking soda1 teaspoon
  • cinnamon1 teaspoon
  • wheat germ, divided4 tablespoons

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    You should have about 2 cups diced apples. Mix apples and sugar together in a large bowl. Let stand for about 30 minutes to draw the juice.

  2. 2

    Stir in egg, flour, soda, cinnamon and 3 tbsp of the wheat germ until well blended.

  3. 3

    Turn into a greased 8 inch square baking pan. Sprinkle remaining wheat germ over the top.

  4. 4

    Bake at 375 F for 30 minutes or until pick inserted int the centre comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Cool on rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 8 or 9 servings depending on how you cut them. Good as it is but vanilla yogurt makes a nice low fat topping if you must have a topping.
