Fresh Apple Cake

2 c. sugar
1/4 c. oil
3 eggs
3 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 T. vanilla
1 c. chopped nuts
2 lg. diced apples

In a mixer combine first 3 ingredients. In a small bowl combine flour, soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add gradually to sugar mixture. It will be very thick. Add vanilla and mix just until combined. Remove mixer from stand and add apples and nuts by hand. Pour into a well greased tube pan. Bake at 350* for exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes.

This is one of my families favorite desserts. We even have it for breakfast with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. I hope you try it and enjoy. By the way, did you know that you are the apple of God's eye?
