Molly Katzen's Cran-Apple Walnut Cake

This is comfort food, a moist unpretentious cake, more like a quick bread.  I'm pretty sure it's in the original Moosewood, but I couldn't find it - voila, someone else had the same problem and when she found it, she posted it on her blog.

Cran-Apple Walnut Cake

1 3/4 cups light brown sugar OR 1 cup honey plus 2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sliced cooking apples
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1/2 cup fresh, whole raw cranberries

Cream together oil and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Sift together flour and dry ingredients. Add to first mixture and stir until thoroughly combined. Stir in apples, cranberries and nuts.

Bake in a well-greased 9x13 pan at 350 degrees F. for 45 to 50 minutes.
