• 1.5 pounds golden delicious apples cored peeled cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 0.5 teaspoon salt 
• 0.3 cup sugar 
• 2 cups sugar 
• 1 stick butter unsalted melted

Equipment

Directions

1. Special equipment: Bundt pan
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
3. Mix the apples with the lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl and let stand while you make the batter.
4. Lightly whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl.
5. Add the oil, melted butter, sugar, vanilla and water and whisk until smooth. In a separate mixing bowl combine the flour, salt, and the baking powder. Use a whisk to mix the dry ingredients together. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the wet mixture and stir just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
6. Generously grease and lightly flour a Bundt pan.
7. Pour 1/4 of the batter into the pan, and then arrange a 1/3 of the apples around the top of the batter. Make 2 more layers of apples, smoothing the batter over them after each addition. Top off with the last of the batter and smooth.
8. Bake about 1 hour 10 minutes, until risen, the top is nicely browned, and a sharp knife inserted in the middle of the cake comes out dry.
9. Let cool in the pan until the cake starts to release from the sides before unmolding.
