• Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 13x9x2 pan.


• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the chopped apples, sugar, raisins and pecans. Let this mixture stand for 30 minutes.


• In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and 1 egg and add to the apple mixture.


• Sift together in another bowl the dry ingredients.


• Add the dry ingredients into the rest of the ingredients in the large bowl, only about 1/3 at a time, long enough to just moisten the dry ingredients.


• Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan.


• Place pan in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, using the "toothpick test" to be sure the batter is cooked, even in the center.
