1 3/4 c. sugar
1 c. oil
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 c. sliced apples
1 c. chopped nuts

Blend first four ingredients in large bowl. Sift together dry ingredients and fold dry ingredients into liquid mixture. Stir in apples and nuts. Bake in 9x13 inch greased baking pan at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.

Sprinkle with confectioners sugar after baking, or frost with a confectioners sugar based frosting after cooling. Top with cherry halves or pecan halves for an added "festive" touch, or just eat them plain!
