Ingredients
- Tart apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- All-purpose flour
- Granulated sugar
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Eggs
- Whole milk
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Lemon juice
- Melted butter (or oil)
- Optional: brown sugar or coconut sugar
- Optional: pumpkin spice
- Optional: flax eggs or applesauce (for vegan version)
- Optional: almond milk or oat milk (for dairy-free option)
- Optional: sour cream or Greek yogurt (for extra moisture)
- Optional: powdered sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Peel, core, and dice your apples into small pieces. Toss them with a little bit of lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add in the sugar, milk, and melted butter (or oil). Mix until everything is combined and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
