Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 medium apples peeled and sliced

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Loaf Pan or Cake Tin
  • Mixing Spoon
  • Peeler or Knife
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples, then set them aside to display their beautiful, caramelized edges as they bake.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour in the melted butter and continue whisking until well combined, giving the batter a shiny, smooth appearance.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agents.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or spoon, stirring just until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  7. Gently fold the sliced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated and incorporated without deflating the mixture.
  8. Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly; the aroma of cinnamon and baked apples will fill your kitchen, inviting you to indulge.
  11. Slice the cake and serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying the tender crumb, caramelized apples, and warm cinnamon flavor.

Notes

For extra richness, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
