Toss them with brown sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2: Make the Cake Batter<\/strong><br>In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients<\/strong><br>In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4: Assemble the Cake<\/strong><br>Grease a 9\u00d713-inch baking pan. Pour half of the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Layer the cinnamon-coated apples over the batter. Pour the remaining cake batter over the apples and spread carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 5: Add Optional Toppings<\/strong><br>If using streusel or nuts, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the cake before baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 6: Bake<\/strong><br>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Bake the cake for 40\u201345 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 7: Cool and Serve<\/strong><br>Allow the cake to cool for 15\u201320 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, top with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"856\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0-130-856x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7670\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:650px;height:650px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0-130-856x1024.jpg 856w, https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0-130-251x300.jpg 251w, https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0-130-768x919.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0-130.jpg 896w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 856px) 100vw, 856px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chef\u2019s Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use firm apples that hold their shape during baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For extra moisture, brush a little melted butter on top before adding a streusel topping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This cake can be made a day ahead; flavors improve as it rests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
