Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 large Fresh apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round springform pan or a deep pie dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice and brown sugar until they are evenly coated.

Step 7

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Arrange half of the apple slices on top of the batter in a single layer.

Step 8

Pour the remaining batter over the apple layer and spread it gently to cover. Arrange the remaining apple slices decoratively on top.

Step 9

Bake the pie cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the pie cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen it, then gently remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent finish!
