Ingredients:

·         ¼ cup of melted butter

·         1/3 cup of orange juice

·         2/3 cup of white sugar

·         2 cups of thinly sliced peeled apples

·         5 tablespoons of white sugar

·         2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon

·         ¼ cup of orange juice

·         1 cup of vegetable oil

·         3 cups of all-purpose flour

·         2 cups of white sugar

·         4 eggs

·         1 teaspoon of salt

·         1 tablespoon of baking powder

·         2 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract

 

Directions:

Start by preheating the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is heating, grease and flour a 9 inch tube pan. Then mix the 5 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon and the apples in a bowl. Next, place the oil and 2 cups of sugar in a large bowl and beat it with an electric mixer. Slowly add the eggs one at a time and make sure to blend them into the mixture prior to adding the next. Also, beat in the vanilla extract and ¼ cup of orange juice.

Then, combine the flour, baking powder and salt ingredients in a small bowl and add to the sugar mixture. After, pour half of the batter into the tube pan then layer the apple mixture on top. Finally, pour the remaining batter over the apples. Once the oven is at the correct temperature, bake until an inserted toothpick can be cleanly removed. This is approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes. Make sure to allow the cake to completely cool prior to removal. To make the glaze, combine 1/3 cup of orange juice, 2/3 cup of sugar and butter in a bowl then pour over the cake.
