3 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1 c. vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten fluffy
1/3 c. fresh orange juice
2 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 tsp. baking soda
5 large McIntosh or Fugi apples
3/4 c. sugar
2 tbsp. cinnamon

Combine flour, 2 cups sugar, oil, eggs, orange juice, vanilla and baking soda. Beat at least 5 minutes. The batter will be very thick. Core, peel and very thinly slice apples. Mix 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in separate bowl. Grease and flour tube pan. Alternate cinnamon/sugar, apples and batter (in that order), 1/3 of each at a time.

Bake at 350°F for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until toothpick comes out clean.
