Ingredients

2 large eggs
½ cup avocado (or unflavoured) oil
½ cup sour cream
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 medium apples, peeled, cored and diced
confectioners’ sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F and grease and flour a bundt pan (or a 9x13 square).
Beat the eggs, oil and sour cream on medium speed with mixer until creamy. Beat in sugars and vanilla until well combined.
Combine all the dry ingredients with a whisk, then, slowly add to egg mixture with a wooden spoon. The batter will be thick.
Fold in apples by hand, then, spread the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 45 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Cool completely before dusting with confectioners’ sugar and serving.
