Ingredients

1 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

2 cups white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

4 cups apples - peeled, cored and diced

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan.

Beat oil and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and vanilla; beat well.
