From my friend Debbie Kretschmer:
- 5 large apples
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 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
- 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.
- 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!
