Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 5 medium apples – peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup orange juice
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. Combine 5 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add apple slices; toss to coat.
  3. Beat flour, 2 cups sugar, oil, eggs, orange juice, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth and thoroughly blended. Batter will be thick.
  4. Transfer ½ batter to the prepared pan; top with ½ apple slices. Add remaining ½ batter; neatly arrange remaining ½ apple slices on top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 ¼ hours. Cool in the pan for 1 hour. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
