    • 5 large apples
    • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
    • 5 tablespoons sugar
    1. Peel and slice apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and set aside.
    • 1 cup oil
    • 4 eggs
    • 2 1/2 tablespoons vanilla
    • 1/3 cup orange juice
    • 3 cups flour
    • 2 1/4 cups sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 3 teaspoons baking powder
    1. Mix together remaining ingredients. Layer in a bundt pan, starting and ending with apples (three layers apples and two layers batter). Or, just stir the apples into the batter.
    2. Bake at 350F for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Serve plain, sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar, or sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

    Adding in a handful of raisins or dried cranberries works very well!
