Apple Pie Cake

I love Apple Pie. I mean, who doesn't? And now that fall is upon us, I will be making a lot more things with apples in them. Except, I don't just make the traditional apple pie. I like to try different variations. This is a recipe I have been making for years, especially for the holidays. My family greatly enjoys it, and I hope yours will as well.

Ingredients:

•  3/4 cup margarine
• 1 1/2 cups sugar (white or brown, or half of each)
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 3 cups apples, peeled and chopped (peeled is optional, I keep the peels on it)
• 1 cup nuts (optional) 

Directions:

1. Cream the butter and sugar together
2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing each in before adding the next one
3. Sift in dry ingredients. Mix well. 
4. Stir in apples and nuts
5. Bake in a greased and floured 13 x 9 pan at 350 degrees for 1 hour
