Description
A delightful cake featuring tart apples enveloped in a rich, buttery batter, with warm spices for a comforting treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or a 9×13-inch pan.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples. Toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning.

- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, adding a splash of milk for a smooth batter.
- Fold in the apples until well distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Feel free to add nuts or raisins for a twist. Monitor baking closely in the last minutes to prevent overcooking.
