1. Preheat Oven
Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add milk, oil (or butter), and vanilla.
3. Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until just combined. Don’t overmix.
4. Fold in Apples
Gently stir in the chopped apples. The batter will be thick—don’t worry!
5. Bake
Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool & Dust
Let it cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm for ultimate comfort.
Pro Tips
- Use sweet-tart apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji for best flavor
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra spice
- Double the recipe for a larger gathering—it disappears fast!
This soft apple cake is short in prep, crisp in texture, and long on flavor. Would you like a variation with nuts or a caramel drizzle?
