Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large apples, peeled and diced
- Cinnamon sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients beforehand to ensure a smooth baking process.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand or stand mixer.
- One at a time, incorporate the eggs, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the milk, alternating with dry ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples to distribute evenly within the batter.
- Pour the batter into a greased sheet pan. Spread evenly, then sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top if desired. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- To keep the cake moist, cover with plastic wrap or foil.
