Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Toss to coat.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.
  7. Grease your baking dish and pour half of the cake batter into it.
  8. Layer the apple mixture over the initial cake batter.
  9. Pour the remaining cake batter over the apple layer.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  11. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Choose a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for balanced flavor. Letting the apples sit with brown sugar can prevent sogginess.
