2 cups sugar
3 cups plain flour
3 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
11/2 cups oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups chopped apples

Beat together all ingredients except apples and nuts. Fold apples and nuts in last. After everything is mixed together, pour into large, greased loaf pan. (I use 3 small loaf pans to give as gifts during Christmas.) Bake at 350 F for 1 hour.
