Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Fresh apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round or square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Peel and core the apples, then chop them into small bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined (do not overmix).
Fold the chopped apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cake with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
