Servings: 10 slices

Ingredients
Cinnamon Sugar Apples:
- 2 large apples or 4 small ones, such as Fuji or Granny Smith (peeled and thinly sliced)
- ½ cup unrefined cane sugar, (such as turbinado)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
Dry Ingredients:
- 4 cups flour, (all purpose white)
- 1.5 cup unrefined cane sugar, (such as turbinado)
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 cup light vegetable oil, (I used light olive oil)
- 1.5 teaspoon vanilla
For Decoration:
- powdered sugar, (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare 3 bowls: 1 large for the cake batter and 2 medium ones: one for apples, the other for the wet ingredients.
Prepare and soak apples
- Peel and slice 2 large apples, place them in the medium bowl. Add sugar and cinnamon and mix everything well. Set aside.
Mix dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder together. Set aside.
Mix wet ingredients
- Add eggs to the 3rd bowl and beat them with a fork until yolk and whites are combined. Add oil and orange juice; and mix everything well.
Combine both
- Add wet ingredients into the large bowl with dry ingredients and mix well.
Assemble the cake
- Grease a 9 inch springform pan with olive oil.
- Add ½ the cake batter and spread it evenly across the pan.
- Add ½ the apple mixture.
- Add 2nd half of cake batter.
- Top with the 2nd half of the apple mixture and any of the remaining liquid from the apple mixture. Arrange apple slices in circular way around the center.
Bake
- Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
- It will take an hour and a half because the batter is so thick and in order to keep the cake moist we need to keep the heat moderate - at 350 F. Going higher than that is risking the cake being too dry.
Serve
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar once the cake has cooled off.
