Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round or square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined (do not overmix).
Step 6
Fold the chopped apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
