Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 apple, peeled, cored, and diced
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1.25 cups boiling water
• 0.25 cup caramel sauce (for drizzling, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square or round baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.

Step 4

Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter.

Step 7

Carefully pour the boiling water over the brown sugar layer. Do not stir; this will create the caramel sauce as it bakes.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cake rest for 5-10 minutes. The cake will have a pudding-like caramel sauce at the bottom.

Step 10

Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce on top, if desired. Pair with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
