Photo: Apple Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For the apples:
- 1 1/2 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the batter:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Directions
Special equipment: Bundt pan
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix the apples with the lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl and let stand while you make the batter.
Lightly whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the oil, melted butter, sugar, vanilla and water and whisk until smooth. In a separate mixing bowl combine the flour, salt, and the baking powder. Use a whisk to mix the dry ingredients together. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the wet mixture and stir just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Grease and lightly flour a Bundt pan. Pour 1/4 of the batter into the pan, and then arrange a 1/3 of the apples around the top of the batter. Make 2 more layers of apples, smoothing the batter over them after each addition. Top off with the last of the batter and smooth.
Bake about 1 hour 10 minutes, until risen, the top is nicely browned, and a sharp knife inserted in the middle of the cake comes out dry.

I followed this recipe as printed and it produced an oily mess. Like all of the other reviews stated there must be a typo with 1 1/2 cups of oil. I will try again with only a 1/2 cup of oil. Very disappointing.

Guys the issue with this recipe is the oil.
Notice on the show that the chef mentions 1 1/2c of oil but when you look at bottle it's empty only 1/2 cup. So to make this recipe a success just use 1/2 cup of oil or use apple sauce instead of the oil.
Also reduce sugar 1 and 2/3rd of a cup of sugar.
Hope this helps.
