Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13 by 9 by 2 inch baking pan. To Make Topping: In a medium-sized bowl, place coconut and pre-moisten. Stir and set aside. Dice pineapple and measure out 1/2 C.; place in hand strainer over a small bowl and press lightly with a spoon to reduce moisture content. Set aside to drain. Combine apple and coconut; add cinnamon and chopped nuts; stir in drained pineapple and mix well; set aside. To Make Batter: Measure out a generous half-C., dice and drain as above; set aside. In a large bowl combine eggs, oil and apple juice concentrate; beat for 1 minute. Add drained pineapple; stir, then mix in cinnamon. Add flour, a little at a time, stirring after each addition, and then beat well by hand for at least 2 minutes. Stir in baking soda quickly and then mix 18 to 20 beats; immediately pour into prepared pan. Using hands, sprinkle topping over batter, then bake 28 to 29 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove pan from oven and place on a wire rack until completely cooled.
