Whole Wheat Apple Bundt Cake

Here is a simple apple cake recipe I adapted off of recipezaar.com
(it's the top rated one)

It's not vegan, due to the eggs, but an egg replacer can easily be substituted, and then it would be!

Ingredients:
(Dry)
3 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
2 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Salt
(Wet)
3 large Eggs(local, free run), beaten
1/3 cup Oil, of your choice
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
3 cups Apples, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups Water, or more until right consistency

Preheat oven to 350 F, lightly grease a bundt cake pan and flour it.

In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients, and whisk to combine. Set aside.

In medium bowl combine eggs, oil, vanilla, water, and whisk. Then fold in the apples. On the original recipe, walnuts are also added, you can add basically whatever you think will go well with apples, cinnamon, and vanilla(the main flavours).

Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until just combined, adding a bit more water if necessary.

Spoon batter into bundt pan and place in oven, with the rack in the middle level position. Bake for 45 minutes, then check. It probably won't be done, bake another 15 minutes if not done, then check again.Note: Do not try adding more apples, the cake will not cook properly! I have done this before and the batter never cooked! I usually use Fuji apples but we only had one left so I used one very large Fuji, a Pink Lady, and a Royal Gala. Also instead of water in the original recipe there is 1 cup of oil(not 1/3 cup as in mine) and 1/2 cup of orange juice. You can adjust this to your liking.
