Step 2
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 10
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
