3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 ½ cups vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups white sugar
3 cups Granny Smith apples, thinly sliced
¾ cup chopped pecans
¾ cup chopped black walnuts

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
