Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (approximately 2 cups)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it and placing a circle of parchment paper at the bottom.
- Toss the chopped apples with 1/4 cup of the sugar and let them sit to draw out their juices.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter with the remaining sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and creamy.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in another bowl.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just blended.
- Fold in the apple mixture along with any juices that have formed.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the apples are well-coated with sugar to enhance their flavor.
- Let the cake cool completely for the best texture.
