Apple cake

I had a couple of apples in the refrigerator from the grocery store that I needed to use up before we started eating the fresh apples from the orchard in North Carolina that I bought this week.   I had written down a recipe for apple cake that showed up on my Facebook page from somewhere as it looked so simple to make..and it was!   I have to say I do like Facebook for the recipes that people share!  

Smells wonderful!   It has a buttery glaze on it but I think if I make it again I will just leave the icing off.  Possibly will make muffins instead of cake.  

 Now I have to find some very light food for supper..like a salad...so I can eat cake!   

Edited to add the recipe!

1 cup applesauce
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tsps cinnamon
2 cups self rising flour ( or plain flour with 1tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp of baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt )-I used the self rising flour
Mix together well
Add 1 cup of diced apples

Pour into greased loaf pan, bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes.    

I made a light glaze to go over the cake but it is not necessary.
