Apples and raisins provide the moistness, which means less oil can be used in this low saturated fat, low cholesterol, and low sodium coffee cake.

• 5 C tart apples, cored, peeled, chopped
• 1 C sugar
• 1 C dark raisins
• 1/2 C pecans, chopped
• 1/4 C vegetable oil
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2-1/2 C sifted all-purpose flour
• 1-1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350º F.
2. Lightly oil a 13x9x2-inch pan.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine apples with sugar, raisins, and pecans; mix well. Let stand 30 minutes.
