Apple Cake

I received this recipe from a friend at work a few years ago.  Great for apple season or anytime!

Apple Cake

Ingredients
2-3 cups peeled, diced apples
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 cups flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
1/4 cup apple juice
2 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour a 10 inch bundt pan.
Combine the diced apples, 2 Tbsp. sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
Combine the sugar, oil, juice, vanilla and eggs and beat at high speed until smooth.  Stir in flour mixture and fold in nuts and apple mixture.
Pour into bundt pan.

Bake 55-60 minutes or until firm, well browned and begins to pull away from pan edges.  Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then turn out on wire rack and cool completely.

Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
