Ingredients

• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans (if using) to make the streusel topping.

Step 7

Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Layer the thinly sliced apples over the batter, then sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the apples.

Step 8

Spread the remaining batter over the apple layer, using a spatula to even it out. Top with the remaining streusel mixture.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
