2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 Tbsp vanilla

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a second bowl, mix the sugar and oil well. Beat in the eggs, followed by milk, vanilla and flavoring.

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just mixed.

Melt the butter in a round cake pan. Sprinkle evenly with sugar and cinnamon. Layer apples on top of the sugar. Pour batter over apples.
