Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease the inside of 8 wide-mouth pint canning jars to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This ensures a smooth and evenly flavored cake. Set aside the mixture.
In a separate bowl, beat sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs until well combined. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with water, until smooth. Gently fold in apples, raisins, and nuts.
Fill each jar halfway with batter, being careful not to drip on the rims. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While baking, sterilize the canning lids and rings in boiling water.
Remove jars from the oven one at a time. Clean the rims with a damp paper towel to ensure a good seal. Place lids on top and screw rings on tightly. Press the center of each lid to check the seal – it should not move. If sealed, it's shelf stable.
Enjoy the cake immediately, or cool and refrigerate for up to a week. Perfect for a quick and tasty dessert!
