Ingredients

• 4 to 5 cups of apples, peeled and chopped, you do NOT have to peel them if you like or do not mind the peel left on. I use Macintosh.
• 1/2 cup of water
• 3/4 to 1 1/4 cup (depending on how many apples you choose to use, and if you want to use less sugar over all) of brown sugar, packed, divided. Place at least 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the sugar in with your apples to cook in the pot.
• 2 1/2 cups sifted flour (works well with Whole Wheat!)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (sometimes I use 2)
• 1 teaspoon of allspice, I also sometimes grate a bit of fresh nutmeg to add in...not really measured.
• 1 2/3 cup of oatmeal
• 2/3 cup of seedless raisins
• 2/3 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts or hickory nuts are good too. (for an extra flavor kick...roast the nuts if they are raw.)
• · 2 eggs, beaten (You can use 3, but you don't have to)
• · 1/3 cup of melted shortening or oil
• · Frosting:
• · 1/2 cup butter (4 ounces)
• · 1 cup brown sugar
• · 3 to 5 tablespoons milk
• · 1 box confectioners' sugar (1 pound), about 4 cups
