INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease a tube or bundt pan with nonstick spray.
Combine apples with cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
Whisk together the oil, apple cider, sugar, and vanilla paste or extract in a large bowl. Stir in the flour, baking powder, an salt. Mix together until combined (batter will be thick), then add the eggs, one at a time, stirring after each addition.
Spoon a few tablespoons of the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Cover the batter with a layer of apples. Spoon a few more tablespoons of batter into the pan, drizzling batter over the apples but not covering them completely. Add more apples to the pan. Repeat, ending with a layer of batter.
Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
