2. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
3. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; stir into the batter just until blended. Fold in the apples by hand. Pour into the prepared bundt pan.
4. Bake for 55-70 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes in the pan and then invert on to a wire rack.
