Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or oil, then dust it with flour.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon until combined.
In another bowl, beat 2 eggs, then add ½ cup of oil and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
Gently fold in 2 cups of chopped apples into the wet mixture.
Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just blended.
Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven, cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm for an extra comforting experience. For best flavor, use a mix of sweet and tart apples and don’t overmix the batter.
