Ingredients

• 4 medium, peeled, cored, and sliced Apples
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 large Eggs
• 300 ml Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon, for dusting (optional) Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing well to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Pour half the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread it evenly.

Step 6

Layer the sliced apples evenly over the batter in the pan.

Step 7

Pour the remaining batter over the apple layer, spreading it gently to cover the fruit completely.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing the springform ring.

Step 10

Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
