  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  2. Peel and slice the apples into thin wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the melted butter and milk, mixing well to combine.
  5. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold the apple slices into the batter.
  7. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.
  8. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

Mixing different apple varieties can enhance flavor depth. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense cake.
