1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tbs spoon ground cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg

3 eggs, beaten
4 cups chopped, peeled apples
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Glaze:

1/8 tsp salt

1. Preheat ovent to 350 degrees F. Grease & flour 9X13 baking pan.

2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg. Make a well in the center & add oil, eggs & vanilla. Mix well (bater will be very thick). Fold in chopped apples and nuts. Spread into 9X13 pan.

3. Bake @ 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Glaze while still hot.

4. To make glaze: In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, milk & butter. Bring to a boil & continue cooking for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over cake while still hot.

*It's pretty rich with the glaze so if you want to cut back on the sugar/sweetness, it's great without!
