Polish Hanukkah Apple Cake

• 1 cup vegetable oil, plus more for greasing pan
• 5 apples (3 Fuji and 2 Granny Smith, or any combination of sweet and tart apples), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2- inch pieces (about 6 cups)
• Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 1/3 cup walnut halves, roughly chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 cups all- purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
• 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F, and grease a Bundt pan or a 9- by-
2. 13- inch baking pan. Toss the apples in a large bowl with the zest and juice of the lemon, the walnuts, and the cinnamon. Pulse together the flour, baking powder, salt, almonds, and 11/4 cups of the sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. With the food processor running, add the eggs, oil, and almond extract, processing until just mixed.
3. Spoon 1/3 of the batter over the bottom of the pan. Scatter the apples on top, and cover the apples with the remaining batter. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar (you'll need less if using a Bundt pan). Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. The cake will take a shorter time to bake in the shallow rectangular pan than in the Bundt pan.
