Ingredients
- 4-5 medium-sized apples (preferably Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Set them aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour half of the batter into the greased cake pan and layer half of the sliced apples on top. Repeat with the remaining batter and apple slices.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- Once completely cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired.
