Daisy's Fruitcake
Submitted by dachshundlady on December 25, 2008 at 2:16 pm

This was in a 2000 issue of Taste of Home. It was submitted by Daisy Corene McHorse of San Sabe, Texas. I have tweaked it slightly and it is our favorite fruitcake.

3 cups peeled, chopped, tart apples
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup apple juice or cider
3 eggs
3/4 cup canola oil
1 teas vanilla
3 cups AP flour
2 1/2 teas apple pie spice
1 teas baking soda
1 teas salt
2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups chopped dates
1 1/2 cups raisins (dark, golden or both)
1 1/2 cups halved candied red cherries
1 1/2 cups halved candied green cherries
1 1/2 cups diced candied pineapple

Line three 8 X 4 loaf pans with waxed paper; grease the paper and set aside. Preheat oven to 350. In large bowl combine apples, sugar and juice; let stand 15 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine eggs, oil and vanilla. Add to apple mixture and mix well.

In another bowl, combine flour, spice, baking soda and salt, whisk, and add to apple mixture; mix well. Fold in nuts and fruits.

Pour into prepared pans and bake at 350 for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks and removing wax paper. Cool completely.

Spread the word
