3 eggs, beaten
2 c. sugar
1 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. cinnamon
3 c. flour
3 c. apples, chopped in 1/2-inch chunks
1 c. nuts (optional), chopped

Mix ingredients in order in large bowl. Spread in greased and floured 13x9 pan. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon-sugar before baking at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

Start testing for doneness after 30 minutes (when toothpick comes out clean, it's done). DO NOT OVERBAKE.
