Cinnamon Apple Cake

Ingredients:
3 apples
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons sugar

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice (I kept the original amount for this)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 F or 160 C. Grease a loaf pan (and line with greased parchment paper, if desired). Peel apples, cut into chunks. Mix with cinnamon and sugar.
In separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. In yet ANOTHER bowl, mix oil, OJ, sugar and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry, add eggs, and stir it all together.
Pour half of batter into loaf pan – batter will be stiff, so spread it around a bit. Dump half the apples on top, then add the rest of the batter. The rest of the apples go on the top of the cake, and you may want to arrange them somewhat evenly.
Bake 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until toothpick comes out clean. If the apples are browning too fast, tent loosely with foil.
