1 cup oil
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups diced apples
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Combine and set aside the oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Sift flour, cinnamon, soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to oil mixture gradually. Add apples and nuts. Bake in 2 regular loaf pans or 3 foil loaf pans for 1-1/2 hours at 300 degrees. Cool 10 minutes in the pan. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
NOTE:
I bake it at 325 degrees for about 70 minutes.
