- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 1/2 lbs. apples (approx) peeled and thinly sliced, i.e. MacIntosh*
- Cinnamon for dusting
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the following ingredients in a large mixing bowl: eggs, vanilla, baking powder, sugar, flour, and vegetable oil. Mix in approximately ⅔ of the sliced apples.
- Pour the batter into a 13 x 9 rectangular cake pan. Lay the remaining apple slices on top and sprinkle with a little bit of cinnamon (about 1 teaspoon). Bake for about 1 hour* until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool slightly.

- I'd recommend MacIntosh apples for this recipe, but any apple variety works. For instructions on how to peel and slice the apples, read the information in the blog post above.
- Baking times can vary depending on the type of pan. For metal pans, check doneness after 50-55 minutes. For glass baking pans, check after 60-65 minutes.
