Apple filling:

8 or 9 apples
1/2 c. sugar
4 tbsp. cinnamon

Peel and slice 8 or 9 apples, mix with 1/2 cup sugar and 4 tablespoons cinnamon. Set aside.

Cake:

3 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. sugar
3 tbsp. baking powder
2 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
4 eggs
1 c. oil or 2 sticks butter, melted
1/4 c. pineapple or orange juice

Beat all ingredients well. Batter will be heavy and must be finished by hand. Pour into a greased tube pan half of batter, then arrange half of the apple mixture on batter, then add rest of the batter and second half of apples. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour and 45 minutes or until done when tested. When you take cake out of the oven, run knife around edge of pan. Let cool.
