My, Oh, My, What a Pie!!

Well, cake actually but it's harder to rhyme :) I've got Sarah's Apple Cake in the oven and it is smelling sooooooooo good!!! Nothing like the aroma of cinnamon wafting through the house on a beautiful Fall day.

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons orange juice
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 apples, peeled, quartered, thinly sliced and tossed with:
1 tablespoon cinnamon
5 tablespoons sugar
*Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add oil, orange juice, eggs and vanilla; beat until smooth. Pour into greased and floured 9 inch springform pan. Arrange apple slices around the edge of the cake so that they are standing rounded sides up with pointed edges pressed into batter, making three concentric rings around the center of the pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1-3/4 hours or until toothpick comes out dry. Cool on wire rack for 30 minutes. Run sharp knife tip around edges and remove sides of springform pan. Cool completely and dust with powdered sugar.

I went to the store to look for cinnamon ice cream to serve with this but had no luck :( With all the ice cream flavors out there, you'd think cinnamon would be a no brainer. Maybe I need to call Haagen Dazs.
I settled for coffee and butter pecan.
