Apple Pie Cake

Ingredients

• 8 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
• 3 tablespoons (45 ml) cinnamon- sugar mixture(2 1/2 T. sugar + 1/2 t. cinnamon)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) vegetable or canola oil
• 3 teaspoons (15 ml) vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) All-Purpose Flour

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175°C). Spray a 9 1/2 to 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray. Line the bottom with a round of parchment paper and then spray again.
2. Layer the apple slices in the pan until they come about 2/3 of the way up the side. Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar over the apples.
3. Prepare the batter by beating the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the oil and the vanilla and beat well, then stir in the flour.
4. Pour the batter on top of the apples, and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to allow the batter to sink down and around the apples.
5. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan. If you try to remove the cake from the pan while it is still warm, it will tend to break apart. Serve slices with ice cream.

Warm individual slices in the microwave.
