Ingredients List

  • 1 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan.

  2. Beat oil and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and vanilla; beat well.

  3. Stir together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Slowly add flour mixture to egg mixture; mix until combined. The batter will be very thick. Fold in apples by hand using a wooden spoon. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
