REcipe from #All Recipes -  MY Revisions to the Recipe are shown in Blue

2 eggs I used 4 eggs 1 cup vegetable oil I used 1/2 cup of applesauce plus 1/2 c. veg oil 2 cups white sugar I used 1 c each of brown and white sugar 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 4 cups apples - peeled, cored and diced I used five cups

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch cake pan. I used a bundt cake pan
2.	In a mixing bowl; beat oil and eggs with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat well.
3.	Combine the flour salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon together in a bowl. Slowly add this mixture to the egg mixture and mix until combined. The batter will be very thick. Fold in the apples by hand using a wooden spoon. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
4.	Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes  55 minutes for bundt pan or until cake tests done. Let cake cool on a wire rack. Once cake is cool serve with a dusting of confectioners' sugarI used a caramel glaze - melt 1/2 c butter on stove, add 1.2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of cream.  Bring to boil for 3 minutes.  Take off of heat and add  1tsp vanilla.  Pour over cake
