Line three 8x4-in. loaf pans with waxed paper; grease the paper and set aside. In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar and apple juice; let stand for 15 minutes. In a bowl, combine the eggs, oil and vanilla. Add to apple mixture; mix well. Combine the flour, apple pie spice, baking soda and salt; add to apple mixture and mix well. Fold in pecans, cherries and pineapple. Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Remove waxed paper. Cool completely.
Editor's Note: Fruitcakes may be baked in eight 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans; bake for 40-45 minutes.

This was a great easy recipe. I would like to tell everyone that if you spray your pans with cooking spray and sugar them, you don't have to fuss using the waxed paper. They leave the pan beautifully. If you are worried about the exta T of sugar leave it out of recipe. I also used Rum in place of apple juice. I dont have the time for cheesecloth and brandy and weeks of wrapping and rewrapping etc in all the other recipes. This works great, husband and friends loved it. Thanks Daisy!
