Fresh Apple Coffee Cake by Mrs. Martin Kleiboeker

2 c. sugar
3 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. coconut (optional)
3 c. apples, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 c. oil
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. nuts (optional)

Combnie sugar, flour, soda, salt and cinnamon. Add oil, eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Add apples. Add coconut and nuts if desired. Grease and flour bread pan. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

**This is a recipe from the Freistatt cookbook and it is EXCELLENT. I omitted the coconut and nuts but added about 1/2 cup of craisins. I also sprinkled the top with some sugar for that coffee cake "crust". I never peel the apples when I bake bread and it always turns out great.
