ingredients

2 large eggs
2 large granny smith apples
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¹⁄₂ cup vegetable oil
¹⁄₂ cup applesauce (I used cinnamon flavored)
1 cup granulated sugar
³⁄₄ cup brown sugar
¹⁄₄ cup honey
¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 dash cinnamon

directions

Preheat your oven to 325, and lightly grease and flour a 9 inch springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugars and honey, oil and applesauce until smooth and slightly lighter in color. (You could use a mixer, but all that's really necessary is a little elbow grease!).
Add in the salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon juice and blend until combined. Slowly add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda until you have a smooth batter.
Peel and chop the apples, I cut them into approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes. Fold them into the batter.
Pour into the pan, and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick pushed into the center comes out with a few crumbs. Don't worry if it looks dark - all the sugar makes it brown, but it tastes wonderful!
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove the sides and let cool on a wire rack. Store any leftovers covered in the fridge.
