Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
• 0.25 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced apples using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using). Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, preferably with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
