Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Fuji recommended)
• 2.5 cups Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.75 cup Orange juice
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 large Eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a tube pan or bundt pan generously with oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a large bowl and toss with 1/2 cup sugar and the ground cinnamon until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the remaining 2 cups of sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil, orange juice, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour about 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Layer half of the cinnamon-coated apples over the batter.

Step 6

Pour another 1/3 of the batter over the apple layer, spreading to cover the apples completely. Add the remaining apples on top.

Step 7

Pour the last 1/3 of the batter over the final apple layer, making sure to cover them as much as possible.

Step 8

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 85–90 minutes, or until a skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. Then, gently loosen the edges with a knife and invert the cake onto a serving plate.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
