How to Make Mary's Raw Apple Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, grate 3 medium-sized apples (about 3 cups grated).
Crack 2 large eggs into the bowl with the grated apples.
Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
Mix all wet ingredients thoroughly with a fork until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
