Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease well and lightly flour bundt pan. In large bowl, using electric mixer on medium speed, beat together eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla about 2 minutes. Using low speed, slowly add flour, baking powder, salt and milk. Blend well. In medium bowl, mix apples with sugar and cinnamon until well coated. Layer batter and apples in prepared pan, beginning and ending with batter. Bake 1 hour 15 minutes or until cake pulls away from sides of pan and toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool 10 to 15 minutes in pan; invert on wire rack to completely cool. Sprinkle with sifted confectioners' sugar when cool. May be frozen.
