2 T. canola – or – vegetable oil
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. flour

Frosting:

In a mixing bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients; beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Combine the next 4 ingredients; add to applesauce mixture and beat until combined. Fold in apples and pecans.
Transfer to a 9-in. x 13-in. x 2-in. baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350º for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
