Measurements [metric]
- 3 to 4 medium apples
- 3 to 5 tsp cinnamon
- 3 c flour
- 2 c sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 c oil (not olive oil)
- 1/4 c orange juice
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Peel, quarter, core and slice apples about 1/8 inch thick. Slicing the quarters the short way yields more apple pieces. Mix with cinnamon.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease and flour a tube pan. Combine rest of ingredients and mix well on low speed. Alternate layers of apples and batter in the tube pan, ending with apples. (Or gently mix the apples in directly, reserving a handful for the top.)
If the tube pan is especially dark, put a piece of tin foil under the pan and poke a hole for the tube.
Bake 1 to 1 1/4 hours until a pick inserted comes out clean.
