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.

Apple Coffee Cake

Laura Goodenough, The Congretional Church, Winchester Center, CT

5 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup cooking oil
4 eggs
1/4 cup orange juice (use Minute Maid)
2 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 teaspoons baking powder
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. Pour in one-third of the batter, half the apples, and one-third of the cinnamon and sugar alternatively until all ingredients are used. Bake at 350 F for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
