Apple Honeycake - It's not an original recipes, but I don't know where it's from. It's good, though! Freezes well.
Beat together one cup sugar, 1/2 cup honey, and 3 eggs. Add 2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder. Slice two medium apples, any kind, and add to mixture.

I personally prefer Rome or Gala or Courtland however in pies, cooking and baking.) Add 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla, and 2/3 cup oil. Bake in 9 by 13 pan for 40 minutes at 350 def
