Apple Coffee Cake - Bundt Cake

Been a while since I posted. Sorry about that. I bought "The Church Supper Cookbook" edited by David Joachim off Ebay for my Mom and this was the first recipe she tried. She followed the recipe exactly the first time and there just wasn't a strong enough apple flavor. She used more apple and that resolved the problem. I recommend always using Minute Maid orange juice. It's the only brand that I know for certain doesn't add sugar; never sickly sweet and plenty of orange flavor.

1 teaspoon salt
5 apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced

Combine sugar and cinnamon and set aside. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, oil, eggs, orange juice, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Beat well. Grease 10 inch tube pan.
