these apples are delicious

As a matter of fact, apples are delicious. Last weekend's apple picking has so far yielded a Ginger Snap Apple thing, an apple cake and now a huge pot of apple sauce. The apple cake is my mom's recipe and it's really good. You can use pretty much any type of cake pan you have around - bundt, angel food. As long as its round and kind of deep it'll work. I used macintosh apples which we picked, but any tart apple will work well.

Apple Cake

6 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
5 T sugar
5 t cinnamon

3 C flour
3 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 3/4 C sugar
4 eggs
1 C oil
1/4 C orange juice
1 T vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the apples, the 5 T of sugar and the cinnamon. Combine all of the dry ingredients and then, in a separate bowl mix the remaining (wet) ingredients together. Add the dry mixture to the wet. In a greased cake pan add 1/3 of the batter, then add half of the apples, another layer of 1/3 of the batter, then the remaining apples and finally the rest of the batter. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
