Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a 9x13 cake pan with either cooking spray or butter.
Combine apples and sugar and mix together; set aside.
Beat eggs for 20 seconds, and then add in oil and vanilla. Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl and then sift into the egg mixture.
Add apple/sugar mixture and stir until apples partially break down.
Pour cake batter into prepared 9x13-inch pan. Bake at 350 F for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Cake will still be very moist. Allow it to cool before frosting.
