Jewish Apple Cake

Jewish Apple Cake:

5-6 apples (i use a mix of cortland, macintosh & granny smith)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
5 tablespoons sugar
2 3/4 cups flour, sifted
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional- i leave out)

Preheat oven to 350
Grease a tube pan (i use Bakers Joy)

Peel, core and chop apples into small chunks. Toss with cinnamon and sugar and set aside.

Mix together flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. With a stand mixer (or hand mixer) mix together oil, orange juice, sugar and vanilla.
Mix wet & dry ingredients, then add the eggs, one at a time.
Make sure to scrape the bowl.

Pour half of batter into prepared pan & spread half of the apples over it.




Pour the remaining batter over the apples and arrange the remaining apples on top.


Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, or until a tester comes out clean.

Enjoy!

God Bless!
