Yields8 Servings

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup orange juice (or milk)

2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

4-5 apples, peeled, cored and chopped

1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

2 Tbsp coarse sugar (optional)

Preheat your oven to 350F. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until light. Beat in oil. Beat in orange and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add to egg mixture and stir until combined. In a third bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, apples and nuts.

Spread about half of the batter in a greased, parchment lined 9-inch springform pan. Spoon apples on top of this batter. Drizzle remaining batter on top of the apples. The batter on the top layer may not cover the apples completely. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. If the cake is browning too much, cover loosely with foil and reduce oven heat to 325F. Serves 8 to 12.
